Timeline
Melissa Anne Rosenberg is an American television writer, television producer, and screenwriter.
She has worked in both film and television and has won a Peabody Award.
She has also been nominated for two Emmy Awards, and two Writers Guild of America Awards.
As part of the senior production team she was also co-nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series award at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.
She worked on several television series between 1993 and 2003 before joining The O.C.'s writing staff, eventually leaving the show to write the 2006 film Step Up.
She first wrote for Class of '96 in 1993, and went on to work on shows including Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1995–1996), Dark Skies (1996), The Magnificent Seven (1998), Ally McBeal (2001) and Birds of Prey (2002) before she came to join the writing staff of The O.C. in 2003.
From 2006 to 2009, she served as the head writer of the Showtime series Dexter, rising to executive producer by the time she departed at the end of the fourth season.
Leaving The O.C. at the conclusion of its first season, she was hired to write her second screenplay, the 2006 dance film Step Up.
(Later, she was also offered the job of writing the sequel, Step Up 2: The Streets, but turned the offer down as she was busy with other projects.)
Rosenberg went on to write for the television series Love Monkey (2006) and Dexter (2006–2010).
Since joining the Writers Guild of America, she has been involved in its board of directors and was a strike captain during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
She supports female screenwriters through the WGA Diversity Committee and co-founded the League of Hollywood Women Writers.
Her job on the Showtime series was her first on a show written for cable—she stated in 2007, "Cable is the place to be ... it's just wonderful."
Rosenberg initially worked as a consulting producer and writer on the first season.
She gained a staff position as co-executive producer and writer for the second season in 2007 and continued in this role for the third season in 2008.
She wrote a detailed 25-page outline in August 2007, expecting to have another two months to write the actual screenplay, but had only five weeks to finish the script before the commencement of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
She wrote her second produced screenplay, the 2008 film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's novel Twilight in 2007, and then adapted the novel's three sequels.
Rosenberg is also widely known as the creator of the Netflix series Jessica Jones.
Rosenberg was born in Marin County, California.
Her father is Jack Lee Rosenberg, a psychotherapist and the founder of integrative body psychotherapy.
Her mother was Patricia Rosenberg, a lawyer.
She was the second of four children by her father's first wife.
Rosenberg's father was Jewish and her mother was of Irish Catholic background.
As a child, Rosenberg enjoyed presenting plays and recruiting other neighborhood children to perform in them.
She attended a "massive public high school with a crowd of people bunched in a classroom and expected to learn" in Southern California.
She later moved to New York City to join a small theatre company before moving again to Bennington, Vermont to attend Bennington College.
She originally aspired to work in Dance and Choreography.
She says she began too late, however, so she moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in the film industry instead.
She graduated from the University of Southern California's (USC) Peter Stark Producing Program with a Master of Fine Arts degree in film and television producing.
Rosenberg's first project was a dance film commissioned by Paramount Pictures that was ultimately never made.
She then shifted to television writing.
She and the other members of the Dexter writing staff were nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for best Dramatic Series at the February 2008 ceremony for their work on the first season.
After the release of Twilight, she was hired by Summit to adapt the sequels New Moon and Eclipse, the second and third books in the series, respectively, and she had already begun drafting the New Moon screenplay by November 2008.
The writing staff was again nominated for the WGA award at the February 2009 ceremony for their work on the third season.
She was promoted to executive producer for the fourth season in 2009 and continued to write episodes.
She was nominated for the WGA award a third consecutive time at the February 2010 ceremony for her work on the fourth season of Dexter.
Summit Entertainment, the production company which had produced Step Up, offered Rosenberg the chance to adapt Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel Twilight into a film of the same name, which she accepted.
Her primary inspiration for the adaptation was Brokeback Mountain, which she described as a "great model" of forbidden love alongside Romeo and Juliet, and thought its adaptation from short story to film was "beautiful".
She was given a "manifesto" written by Meyer outlining everything that had to be included or could not be changed in the adaptation.
In July 2010, Rosenberg left her role of writer and executive producer on Dexter, explaining that "For the past four years I've been writing Dexter and one Twilight or another."
