Nikki Greenhalgh is a 2025 graduate from NYU Tisch’s Dramatic Writing program with a focus in screenwriting. Born in Parker, Colorado, she grew up with a love for music and her family that drives her writing. She strives to approach her work with grace and craft each character with sympathy. 

 

At sixteen, she self-published her debut novel, Glory Days, with co-writer Rachel Davidson. Greenhalgh’s feature screenplay Annie Takes a Road Trip!!!, a comedic retelling of The Odyssey, won 2nd place at the 2025 Ivy Film Festival. Her half-hour TV pilot, Communications, received an honorable mention at the Fusion Film Festival. Her directorial debut, Pennies, is set to release in Fall 2025. 


When she is not writing, she can be found learning guitar, reading anything she can get her hands on, or making her friends watch Lord of The Rings (again).
