Corinthian Maldonado
Corinthian was born in Brooklyn but after his parents split, it felt like he lived everywhere… so to keep the trend going, he joined the Air force in 2011. He spent time all over the U.S. and overseas. He served across the U.S. and overseas, working for General Officers and later as a Public Health Tech during the pandemic. But it was during his first tour in Kuwait that he discovered his true passion for writing. Fourteen years later, he hasn’t stopped. A graduate of the Veterans Writing Fellowship, Corinthian is a TV drama writer focused on stories of loss, home, and belonging.

“Corinthian Maldonado is a writer through and through. In addition to his obvious handle on the basic craft of writing compelling screenplays, Corinthian is a builder of worlds; often, his imagined environments are as specific and compelling as the characters he writes, and often become characters themselves. Corinthian not only brings his own uniquely fascinating lived experience to his writing, but he is a dedicated researcher who equips himself with all the knowledge he can to inform his work. He is ready to be staffed; any room would benefit from his skill, dedication, and imagination.”
