Hope McPherson

Personal Bio

Hope is an optioned screenwriter who sometimes informs her scripts with experiences gleaned from living on a 5-acre farm in the Pacific Northwest and growing up as a preacher’s kid surrounded by quirky congregants. Her comedy scripts have placed in the Top 10 of several screenplay competitions, and she was pleased have two scripts, including a new pilot, recently gain notice in the Emerging Screenwriters Competition.

She belongs to the Northwest Screenwriters Guide and is an alum of the two-year Master Screenwriter’s Course and six-month Bingeworthy TV Bootcamp through Hal Croasmun’s ScreenwritingU. She has also completed the in-person Robert McKee’s Story Seminar.

As a feature journalist, she has interviewed such individuals as mystery writer Dick Francis, theologian Dallas Willard, Hollywood wrangler Gordon Spencer, and Captain Kangaroo. Her bylines include Newsweek, The Seattle Times, Metropolitan Living, and Horse Illustrated.

In her spare time, Hope volunteers for Special Olympics and spins her llama’s fiber.
