Nancylee Myatt has been writing and producing primetime television, features and plays for over 20 years. Some of Ms. Myatt's television credits include, "Night Court," where she worked the last two seasons of its nine-year run and ended up writing the series finale. She wrote on the groundbreaking political satire "The Powers That Be" with her mentor Norman Lear, as well as producing and writing on "The Five Mrs. Buchanans" and "Living Single" for which she won a NAACP award.

Ms. Myatt created and produced the teen sitcom "Social Studies" for UPN. For two seasons she pounded out episodes of "Recess," "Lloyd in Space" and "Teacher's Pet" from Disney TV animation and ABC for which she won an Emmy for 2001. She wrote, produced and filmed a cop show pilot set in New Orleans about two women who were partners in work and life called "Nikki & Nora" for UPN. That pilot lead her to a partnership with Barry Sonnenfeld where they co-created the Sci-Fi dramedy pilot "The Trackers" for Sony TV.

Ms. Myatt wrote the TV adaptations from the award winning teen novels, "Annie On My Mind" and "A Time For Dancing," which was nominated for a writing Emmy. After that, Ms. Myatt launched and served as the Co-Executive Producer/show runner, Writer and Director for the first two seasons of "South Of Nowhere" on TEENick (MTV networks). The show was nominated 2 years in a row for a GLAAD Media Award for Best Outstanding Drama, and a Teen Choice nomination for best break-out show.

Ms. Myatt co-wrote with Ralph Macchio a teen pilot for ABC Family called "Cupidity." Her internet credits include break-out and award winning web-series 3WayTV. She is one of the voices behind the lifestyle and culture website InTheLandofCocktails.com. On tellofilms.com you can watch two seasons of her all girl western comedy "Cowgirl Up." And a web-reboot of her mystery series "Nikki and Nora" about a couple who live and work together in New Orleans. In her spare time you can find Ms. Myatt at the track betting the horses or in search of great cocktails and conversation...
