About the Speaker
In 2018, LaToya Morgan inked a new multi-year overall deal with AMC to write and develop new series for the network. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Morgan is a graduate of the American Film Institute Conservatory where she received a MFA in Screenwriting. She’s an alumna of several prestigious fellowships including the Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop, the Producers Guild Power of Diversity Fellowship, Film Independent’s Producer’s Lab, and the WGA’s Feature Access Project. She’s been a writer on Shameless, Parenthood, Complications, TURN: Washington’s Spies, and Into the Badlands where she’s also a Co-Executive Producer.

Staying in the AMC fold, Morgan signed a new, multi-year overall deal with the network. Under the pact, Morgan will develop new series. She is currently penning the pilot for They Can’t Kill Us All based on the best-selling non-fiction book about the formation of the Black Lives Matter movement as well as the popular science fiction series WOOL based on the novels by Hugh Howey. In addition, she will oversee an inclusion initiative for AMC, in which she will supervise and mentor diverse emerging writers for development.

On the feature front, Morgan adapted the popular crime novel Two Minute Rule for Original Film and her spec crime thriller Carried By Six is being produced by Barry Josephson with Matt Ruskin (Crown Heights) directing. Morgan serves on the WGA Inclusion and Equity Group committee and is a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Morgan is represented by CAA.
