Sonja Warfield is a television writer and author best known for her work on the Emmy Award-winning NBC sitcom Will & Grace, as well as BET’s hit comedy The Game. Currently, she’s Co-Executive Producer for HBO’s The Gilded Age.
A long-time Writers Boot Camp alumnus in the precursor to our Pro Membership called Think Tank, Sonja’s nearly 20-year career includes credits from a diverse range of television shows including Disney Channel’s popular Liv and Maddie, BET’s Zoe Ever After, which featured pop star Brandy, the animated series She-Ra for Dreamworks/Netflix, where she also penned an original song, and ABC’s Jake in Progress.
She’s developed and written pilots/projects for ABC, NBC, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Lifetime, Universal TV, Sony Pictures Television and HBO. Sonja also writes feature films, including a screenplay adaptation of a novel for Alcon Entertainment and 2S, a Hilary Swank production company.
In addition to television and film, Sonja is author of the entertaining, empowering and inspiring book Get Your Butt Off My Couch (And Your Hand Outta My Wallet), a woman’s guide to getting rid of her deadbeat husband, boyfriend or boo-thing. Sonja and her book have been featured on numerous radio and television programs including The Dr. Phil Show.
Sonja is the mother of a teenage son, she’s the daughter of an NFL Hall of Fame football player and she’s a former debutante (but don’t hold that against her). Sonja’s also a comedian, who’s performed at The World Famous Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory and The Ice House. These days, though, she performs mostly in her kitchen.
Sonja has a B.A. in Cinema/Television-Critical Studies from the University of Southern California where she has taught television writing.
