About Olena Chepurna

I am a Ukrainian screenwriter, novelist, linguist, and story consultant with more than 17 years of professional experience working with language, dialogue, storytelling, and narrative structure.
My background in translation and education shaped my understanding of rhythm, clarity, character voice, and the emotional logic of dialogue.
Over time, my work with language naturally evolved into screenwriting. Today, I create original feature projects for the international market and help writers strengthen the structure, characters, conflict, and thematic depth of their stories.
My work explores identity, transformation, memory, resilience, human consciousness, and the systems that shape human behavior.
I write in English and Ukrainian and collaborate with writers, producers, and creative partners worldwide.
