Tish Cohen

Ted Rogers School of Management ’88

Tish Cohen achieved a feat few writers can boast about — selling to Hollywood the rights to a book she hadn’t published yet. In September 2005, she sold her first novel, Town House, to Fox 2000, before even securing a publisher for her manuscript. At the time of her induction in the Alumni Wall of Achievement, the film was being produced with Thelma & Louise director Ridley Scott at the helm. A frequent contributor to the Globe and Mail and the National Post, Ms. Cohen is also the author of two novels for the middle-grade set, The Invisible Rules of Zoe Lama, a Canadian bestseller, and its sequel, The One and Only Zoe Lama. She most recently released her second novel for adults, Inside Out Girl.
