About Me!
Hi! My name is Devon Buckley and I am a writer born and raised in New York. I've recently earned my BA from CU Boulder in Creative Writing with minors in Media Studies and Geology.
During my time there I was able to focus on Scriptwriting and Creative Development and learn how well I thrive in collaborative environments. While there, I had the opportunity to lead a six person Creative development team in a class taught by Steven T. Seagel. I was incredibly inspired by my teammates and we created some spectacular work.
In my writing, I feel particularly drawn to stories that investigate how individuals and groups are influenced by society – how it shapes their morality and behavior. Because of that interest many of my stories tend to be in post-apocalyptic settings where societal influence is either removed or at least dramatically altered. My large love for the environment and a background in conservation and environmental science inspires me to incorporate climate change and human impact on the ecosystem.
However, I have an open minded approach to my writing. I enjoy a wide array of genres and like to keep my projects diverse so I can stay flexible and adaptable.

My love for storytelling and passion for learning has led me to seek out a myriad of training, degrees, certificates, and mentorships in each of these categories. I wanted to make sure all of the stories across so many mediums, which I have so much pride in, were well represented.
