About Nicole Zamlout

Nicole Zamlout is a writer for Screen Rant who loves to dive deep into stories, both on the big and small screen. As a writer with an English Masters degree, she's always looking for something new to get obsessed over and how that medium is expanding this wonderful thing called storytelling. When she isn't writing articles, she's working on her own creative pieces (she's written two books and is currently working on a third) as well as running, reading, spending time with family, and enjoying this lovely thing called the internet. 

Industry Focus

Since her background is in English, Nicole's focus is on the story being told on the screen, how ideas and themes are portrayed, and how effective the story is when it comes to delivering its message. She'll also go into industry trends when it comes to this topic and how those are affecting the stories being seen on the screen. She also just loves talking about fantasy and sci-fi which are the things that sparked her love of storytelling in the first place. 

Favorite Media

Nicole's list of favorite media is quite long, but the top contenders right now are the MCU, Bridgerton, White Collar, and Suits. Her list of favorite actors is just as long but includes Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey, Tom Holland, and the rest of the amazing casts of the MCU. Her current obsession is the amazing anime Demon Slayer, which she will tell everyone to watch.
