All About Yvie

Yvie Jones writes stories and tells jokes. (Or does she write jokes and tell stories? Yes.) She is a Philadelphia-based writer and erstwhile comedian whose work leans toward the darkly funny, layered, and wry.In 2023, Yvie was selected as a St. Nell's Humor Writing Resident and a Yes And Laughter Lab finalist. In 2024, she got her stand-up comedy on performing at Joe's Pub in NYC. And her comedic TV pilot script NO POPO landed on Coverfly's The Red List before nabbing quarterfinalist spots in the ScreenCraft TV Pilot Competition and the Black Boy Writes Media Mentorship Initiative.So far in 2025, NO POPO has been named a ScreenCraft Screenwriting Fellowship semifinalist and a Shore Scripts TV Writer Mentorship quarterfinalist, selected for Coverfly’s The Red List several more times, and landed in the Top 1% of all of Coverfly’s 347,805 screenwriting projects.Yvie was also selected for April's Audible-Sundance Audio Storytelling Intensive, wrote a new one-hour tour for a historical walking tour company, and [something cool she can't talk about until 2026].A longtime dotcom and media arts professional, Yvie has written, edited, and produced multimedia projects for companies including Comcast Interactive Media, the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, National Public Radio, Scribe Video Center, the Sundance Film Festival, and Time Warner.These days, Yvie is a freelancer who loves doing anything that takes her away from keyboards and glowing screens, including frolicking in Pennsyltucky nature and donning a hospital gown and a critical eye to help medical professionals practice and hone their clinical skills.Right now, Yvie is finishing an action comedy feature and graphic novel about :::checks notes::: climate change and Waffle House, and serving as playwright and dramaturg for a 15-minute commissioned performance piece about civil rights activist Bayard Rustin. Her six-part short fiction series, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY AUNTIES, will debut in December 2025.Anything else? Let’s see…. LUXURY BONES, the unasked for spec script she wrote for the award-winning HBO Max series HACKS, still makes her disproportionately proud and happy. Yvie is terrific at keeping in touch despite recently taking a huge step back from social media apps run by a mustache-twirling company named, um, let’s call it Rhymes with Feta.Finally, Yvie is an NYU Tisch School of the Arts drop out, but only because living in NYC as a teen--even back in the Pleistocene Era--was incredibly expensive. If you’ve read this far, email her for a prize. (No, really!)
