She is repped by UTA, Literary, 3Arts, and Yorn Levine Barnes Krintzman. She has also written comic books for both Marvel and DC. In addition to “Yolk,” Choi’s other books include “Emergency Contact” and “Permanent Record.” She also hosts the podcasts “Hey Cool Job” and “Hey Cool Life.” Her written work has been seen in publications like The Atlantic, The New York Times, and GQ. “She’s viciously funny but deeply empathetic at the same time, and the moment we read ‘Yolk,’ we knew it was a series we had to make at Picturestart-and we knew Mary had to be the one to adapt it.” “Mary is quickly proving herself to be the voice of a generation, applying her keen observational eye to the universal themes of family, identity, and belonging in this peerless coming-of-age story,” said Feig, who is the founder and CEO and Picturestart. Picturestart’s Erik Feig, Samie Kim Falvey, Emily Wissink, and Julia Hammer will executive produce along with Jermaine Johnson of 3 Arts and Lulu Wang and Dani Melia of Local Time. Choi and Jessica O’Toole (“XO Kitty,” “Jane the Virgin,” “Charmed”) are adapting the book for the screen with O’Toole also serving as showrunner.
