With an MA in Communication Arts from the University of Michigan, I moved to Chicago to work in film and broadcast. At first, I was Assistant to the Broadcast Director at ad agency Foote, Cone & Belding, until I was hired by Euro RSCG Tatham, who promoted me to Producer for Procter & Gamble. After four years, I struck out on my own, writing and producing short films and broadcast commercials—including an award-winning ad campaign with Din & Pangrazio for the State of Illinois—and traveling for projects in LA and NYC. I've crewed on feature films for Paramount, Warner Bros and Columbia Pictures. After creating work that sells in Chicago and other markets, I returned to my home state Ohio, as Creative Director for NBC affiliate WNWO in NW Ohio.
My passion is now creative writing. Since I was single and supporting myself when I struggled to establish my career, I’ve developed an empathy for working women. I love writing fiction about women who fight to survive and even triumph in the film industry. Tackling a cultural issue as an artistic expression in literature—as on film— can increase its relevance to society. Countless women with diverse backgrounds struggle in the workplace and many suffer trauma from assault. In writing my novel Radiant Exposure, I reach out with compassion and relatable humor to inspire awareness of freedom and justice—along with the joy of love— for both women and men.
As a former writer/producer, I developed a firm foundation in writing to appeal to particular audiences. Currently I'm seeking representation for my new novel Radiant Exposure, about a filmmaker who risks everything she has to fight for justice on behalf of victims of violence, when her own life is threatened. I wrote my story to entertain booklovers through a strong compelling character, so my theme of human rights can engage readers and hopefully touch their hearts. I've written other fiction and nonfiction, I advocate all women, I'm active in the arts and experienced in public speaking. I'm grateful for the chance to share my written expression about the bond between love and life without fear of our fellow man.
Ali Wilder is a foundling who enters adulthood with only her passion to be an independent filmmaker. Struggling against naysayers, sabotage from rivals, and Hollywood moguls' ruthless competition, she begins to make her dream come true, when forces from her past try to kill her since she knows too much. With remarkable wit, strength and capacity for love, she surprises them all.
