PRODUCTION & WRITING
Courtney thrives on bringing projects to life on the page, most recently as design coordinator at Titmouse / Motor Trend and Rough Draft Studios. With an MFA in Narrative Media Writing from the University of Georgia, she'll also tackle any screenwriting project you can throw her way. Leave her alone with a red pen or editing software, and Courtney can make your words shine, too: Courtney was a top copy editor for the NCAA and many other collegiate sports programs for seven years.
COMIC EDITING & LETTERING
Courtney reads hundreds of comics each year and is ready for due credit! Contact her with opportunities for editing comics or for work on book layout, lettering and other graphic design aspects of your projects.
Courtney Birnbaum
A natural storyteller, 32-year-old Courtney LeMay Birnbaum spent her childhood telling outrageous jokes and stories to her parents during long commutes to and from school. In an attempt to keep Courtney’s constant jokes from causing her to laugh so hard she lost control of her car and/or bladder, Courtney’s parents provided Courtney with hundreds of books and magazines to read. It was incredibly effective.
Courtney’s love of written, spoken and televised words continues to grow today. Her 2020 short film “Morland & Mishaps” won third place in the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) Young Filmmakers Contest, which she completed with Christopher as a tribute to their shared love of reading.
Courtney has worked as a Design Coordinator for adult animated series at Titmouse and Rough Draft; a video archiver for the Tokyo Olympics; a designer and editor for hundreds of college athletics programs; and a teacher, coach and mentor for teens and adults in Southern California.
In her limited free time, Courtney enjoys catching up on webcomics, studying French and Japanese and training in Kenpo Karate. She also supports youth in the Los Angeles foster care system as a CASA volunteer. Courtney often plays one-sided games of fetch with her corgis, Sgt. Tibbs and Tulip.
