Television writer
Valentina L. Garza is an American screenwriter and television producer, known for her work on both animated and live-action television series. She has written for The Simpsons, Jane the Virgin, Only Murders in the Building, XO, Kitty, and Wednesday.
Career
Garza began her television career as a writers' assistant on Los Beltrán, a Spanish-language sitcom that aired on Telemundo and where she wrote her first episode of television. She then joined the Warner Bros. Television Group writer’s workshop and submitted a speculative script that earned her a writing position on The Simpsons. During her six-year tenure on the show, she wrote the episodes Loan-a Lisa, Opposites A-Frack and Four Great Women and a Manicure, the latter earning her an Annie Awards nomination. “Opposites A-Frack” won the 2015 Environmental Media Award for Television Episodic Comedy as it addressed environmental issues surrounding fracking.
She later joined the writing staff of the animated series Bordertown and became a key contributor to Jane the Virgin on The CW. In 2018, her episode “Chapter Seventy-Eight” was honored along with “Chapter Eighty” with the Sentinel Award for their exemplary depiction of breast cancer in a comedic series. In 2019, Garza pitched and produced the pilot for a spin-off of Jane the Virgin, but the network ultimately declined to move forward with the project.
Garza worked as a consulting producer on Hulu’s comedy Only Murders in the Building and signed with WME in 2021 to develop original television content.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Valentina L. Garza”, the useful work is to connect “television writer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18636532. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2021.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
