Autumn Withers

Writer of TV/Film + Fiction • Actress
Story Coach & Creative Consultant

We need stories
to understand ourselves.

Autumn Lee Withers is an American writer, actress, and story coach based in Paris. A graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts and the University of Georgia, Autumn has accrued nearly four dozen acting credits in television and film over the past fifteen years, notably Modern Family, FBI: Most Wanted, and Avalanche, which she also co-produced.

She has written eight television pilots and four feature films, spanning romcom, women’s history, and psychological thriller. Her female-driven work has been optioned and commended by Screencraft, Austin Film Festival, Sundance Episodic Lab, and HBO.

A former Radio City Rockette and devoted Francophile, Autumn recently completed her first book, a romantic dramedy set across France where timing is terrible and chemistry is not.

As a story coach and creative consultant, Autumn works with studios, literary agencies, entrepreneurs, and mentors writers across genres. She helps stories become clearer about what they are and braver about saying it.

“GRITS is one of those rare scripts, in my opinion, that successfully marries really credible, finely drawn characters with wild n' crazy secrets and soap. And obviously, the world and atmospherics are such a draw.”
