Today’s Women Behind the Scenes spotlight is focused on television writer and producer Anne Cofell Saunders.

Anne got her start in television in 2002, working as an assistant to the producers of the FOX drama 24. Three years later she made her writing debut on 24 and that same year she then shifted over to the writing staff of Battlestar Galactica during the show’s second season. She was then hired as a story editor for the third season.

In 2007, Anne joined the crew of the Syfy series Eureka, working as an executive story editor during the show’s second season. That same year she moved over to the popular fan favorite series Chuck, working as a co-producer and writer during the show’s first season. The next year she was promoted to producer and remained a writer for Chuck.

She then joined the staff of Smallville in 2009 during the show’s 9th season, working as writer and producer. Most recently, Anne has joined the crew of the new NBC post-apocalyptic series Revolution, which will be returning after a four-month hiatus next week, working as a writer and co-executive producer.
