Stephanie Elie — writer, producer, world-builder.

I'm a writer-producer who builds story-worlds and ships products. Bizzie Media Group is the production company where my work lives — four projects in four formats, all of them developed with the same discipline.

I came up writing scripted audio because it lets a small room build a big universe quickly. Alpha 8 grew out of that — a cinematic-sounding mystery built with a tiny crew, a great cast, and a relentless attention to what the listener actually experiences in their ears.

The same instinct shows up in my day work as a senior content designer. Story is structure. Structure is a contract with the reader. Whether the reader is a podcast listener or a finance ops manager onboarding into a new tool, the discipline is the same.

I judge for the Ambies and the Signal Awards because the audio drama community gave me a runway, and I want to be part of building the next one.
