Colleen DuVall earned both her master’s in digital communication and her bachelor’s in journalism at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. Colleen’s internship for the O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism allowed her the valuable opportunity to work alongside award-winning Frontline Reporter, Katie Worth.

Colleen’s published and produced work include Municipality Magazine, Bella Grace Magazine, Taste of Home Magazine, Wisconsin Public Radio, Milwaukee Magazine, Watcher Junior (The Undergraduate Journal of Buffy+), Unity College of Maine, Backlog Magazine, and BBI Media. Her first novel, A Witch’s Kiss, a supernatural romance, was published as an e-book for Whispers Publishing. She also published and illustrated a children’s book with an anti-bullying theme, about a little ghost named, “Sidney.” Most recently, the musical she co-wrote, “Shining in Misery: A King-Size Parody,” debuted in the World Premiere Wisconsin theatre festival and enjoyed a concert performance at 54 Below in NYC.

Two of her original podcasts are currently available on SoundCloud: “Women Who Howl at the Moon,” a monthly chat with fierce, fearless women in the Wiccan/Pagan community, and “Savage Support Stories,” an every-other-month series that interviews inspiring survivors of breast cancer for the nonprofit group, Savage Support.

Colleen has written, directed, and produced plays and short films. Her theater troupe in Chicago was known as The Black Cat Productions. One of their adaptations, "White Zombie," was written up in the book of the same title by Gary D. Rhodes (©2001, McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers). "You Bet Your Sweet Patootie!,” (Broken Mirror Productions), was featured in the New York International Independent Film Festival in 2003. She also teaches acting in Milwaukee and has performed professionally in Madison, California, Chicago, and Milwaukee.
