Bio
LIZ GALVAO is a writer, editor, copywriter, screenwriter, and video content programmer whose work focuses on comedy, feminism, and pop culture. As a creative writer, she likes to tell funny stories where women and other marginalized people get to be unruly and messy and flawed and human. She especially loves characters who are their own worst enemies, and stories that turn a critical eye toward capitalism.
Liz grew up in a very small town in New Jersey that no one's ever heard of called Long Valley. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film at Vassar College, then studied sketch and improv comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) Theatre in New York City. Her humor writing has been published in places like McSweeney’s, Reductress, Points In Case, The Belladonna, and The Hairpin, and she was the Music Editor of BUST Magazine from 2014-2017. She also founded the humor site Funny-ish and served as its Editor-in-Chief for three years.
Liz wrote and performed with the sketch comedy group June's Cleaver at the iO West theater from 2016-2019. In 2019, she hosted a monthly comedic readings series called Funny On Paper in Los Angeles and New York City. She has been writing an email newsletter called Like You Know Whatever since 2014 that regularly has a 50% or higher open rate. Her dark comedy screenplay Hey Hun placed in four different screenwriting competitions in 2023. She and her husband hosted a podcast that recapped The Bachelor franchises for three years called My Wife Is In This Room. She is super uncomfortable bragging about herself!!!
As an employee, Liz has worked with streaming video content at SONY, Funny Or Die, CollegeHumor/Dropout, and Movies On Demand. She also occasionally writes freelance film reviews for BUST, and sometimes does copywriting for a medspa in exchange for free Botox.
Liz's hobbies outside of writing and work include: watching reality TV (especially Bravo), cooking, reading, traveling, and putting together fun outfits.
Liz lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their fluffy tuxedo cat Zadie, and travels back to New York City often.
