Kourtney Richard

Kourtney Richard is a creative storyteller and producer with the unique ability to share poignant, relatable, and compelling stories. After graduating from Texas State University in 2006 with a Journalism degree, Kourtney moved to New York City to pursue a career in journalism. She wrote articles for companies like TheYBF.com, BET, MTV, and Madonna's company "DanceOn". She soon realized her passion for storytelling with a goal set for writing TV and film. In 2011, Kourtney moved to Los Angeles, CA where she began writing comedy sketches for Hart Beat Productions, All Def Digital, and Issa Rae's Peak.TV. In the fall of 2017, the producers of Embassy Row, in partnership with CBS, selected Kourtney to write Star Trek Discovery's post show titled "After Trek" -- a recap show hosted by Matt Mira. It wasn't long before BET started knocking on her door to write the BET Awards After Party Show -- for both 2017 and 2018 year. Kourtney has generated quite a buzz - not only for her creative writing but her tenacity. Currently, Kourtney has a script development deal with TVOne to write their 2019 Holiday movie. She is also the writer for "State of the Culture" -- the top rated show on Sean "P. Diddy" Combs network, Revolt TV. Kourtney is represented by Geoff Silverman with Cartel Management based in Los Angeles, CA.
