Anjanette Delgado is an Emmy award-winning writer and multimedia producer with over eighteen years of experience in broadcast, cable, print and Internet environments, both nationally and internationally. She has produced for CNN, NBC, Univision and Telemundo, among others, producing extensive coverage for events such as the 1991 Gulf War, the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the sustained 24-hour coverage of the present war with Iraq, which she executive produced for Telemundo in 2003. She won her first Emmy for her human-interest series “Madres en la lejanía,” about the plight of Latino mothers who leave their own children behind and come to the United States to work illegally as nannies.

Her first sitcom, “Great in Bed” was bought and is set to be produced by HBO Latin America, and her first novel, The Heartbreak Pill is just out from Simon & Schuster’s Atria Books.

Anjanette, a Puerto Rico native, has also applied her expertise to creating community-driven and empowering broadcast, print and event-based efforts for Latinos in the US. In 2004, she launched and implemented the strategic department of Community Connections at Telemundo, winning the first ever Sentinel for Health Awards ever given to a Spanish-language network or station for her campaigns on Breast Cancer and Diabetes. Anjanette is currently director of Strategic Content Development at Plural Entertaiment, Inc., and hard at work on her second novel, The Calle Ocho Clairvoyant.

She lives in Miami, Florida, and her very favorite quote is “When you’re going through hell, keep going,” by Winston Churchill.
