Writing stories has always been one of Jillian Bullock’s passions since she was a little girl. She wrote creative short stories, and won many awards, because she had a lot to draw from considering her upbringing. Her mother was African-American and her stepdad was white, and also a member of the Philadelphia Italian Mafia. Jillian saw a Mob hit when she was ten.

Jillian, who got her start in writing with short stories and eventually worked as a reporter for the Wall Street Journal newspaper, has crafted her writing skills over the years in college and taking advanced screenwriting courses over 30 years. Jillian is an expert as a screenwriting instructor and script consultant. She often works in conjunction with Aikan Acts to present screenwriting masterclass classes to people who are beginning their screenwriting career.


Also, since 2007, Jillian has been a screenwriting judge for the Set In Philadelphia Screenwriting Contest, sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Film Office.

Jillian writes about hard hitting topics – rape, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence, military sexual assault - because when she was in college taking screenwriting courses, her instructors always told the students to “write what you know.” 



When writing what she knows, Jillian is an expert when it comes to writing about subjects that are difficult, but she also understands how to make her writing creative. Her motto is to write books, articles, videos, and scripts that… 

Empower, Educate and Entertain


With all that Jillian endured she channeled her experiences and wrote about them in her memoir, HERE I STAND, which is a testament to resilience, faith, and a victor mentality.

As an award winning director and screenwriter, Jillian is very excited to have written her first novel, a crime/thriller. For more information, click here.
