Norton, as an agent at the Angela Rinaldi Literary Agency, as a producer on shows for Showtime and CourtTV, and as a story consultant for Warner Brothers and the William Morris Agency.

She is the author of the book “Wired for Story: The Writer’s Guide to Using Brain Science to Hook Readers from the Very First Sentence.”
