EXCLUSIVE: Creators Torrey Speer, Nora McInerny and Katie O’Brien have signed with Curate for management. Speer received WGA and PGA award nominations this year for her work on Apple TV’s The Morning Show, where she served as supervising producer on the first two seasons of the Jennifer Aniston/Reese Witherspoon drama series.

Speer broke into television writing as an assistant in the writers rooms for NBC’s Friday Night Lights and Parenthood before going on to write for three seasons of A&E’s Bates Motel starring Vera Farmiga.

She later wrote for Youtube’s original drama series Impulse directed by Doug Liman. McInerny’s writing career began in 2014 when the obituary she wrote with her husband Aaron went viral, revealing his true identity as Spider-Man and his cause of death as a radioactive spider bite that led to his demise from brain cancer.

Since then, she has published multiple novels including her memoir, It’s Okay to Laugh: (Crying is Cool Too), No Happy Endings, and The Hot Young Widows Club: Lessons on Survival from the Front Lines of Grief.
