TREVOR MUNSON grew up in Texas where he earned an M.A. in English Literature from Texas State University. After graduating with honors, he moved to Los Angeles with the goal of pursuing a career as a Hollywood screenwriter.
Trevor got his first job writing a television movie for Fox based on the real-life theft of seventeen million dollars from Loomis Fargo. That same year his spec script, Lone Star State of Mind starring Josh Jackson and Jamie King and John Cougar Mellencamp, was made by Sony ScreenGems.
Trevor's next assignment was adapting John Welter's novel "I Want to Buy a Vowel" for New Line Cinema.
Soon after, he adapted his debut novel Angel of Vengeance into a pilot script that was the basis for the CBS television series "Moonlight" starring Alex O'Loughlin (Hawaii Five-0) for which he served as co-creator and co-Executive Producer. The series won the People's Choice award for Best New Drama.
Trevor has subsequently pitched and sold several other television projects to ABC, Sony, and NBC.
In 2016, his children's book Fletcher Freek and the Voodoo Guru was optioned by The Disney Channel to be developed as a live-action movie which he wrote in conjunction with Meg LaFauve (Inside Out).
Most recently, Trevor went back to Texas to shoot his indie horror feature, Grandma's House (2018), which was produced by Robert Rodriguez and the El Rey network, and began writing a new action/comedy feature based on the comic book Noble for Mark Gordon Co/E1.
On top of his busy writing career, Trevor also believes in making time to share his years of knowledge and expertise with a younger generation of writers and filmmakers. In addition to consulting on scripts and leading targeted writing workshops, he teaches a thesis prep writing class at the highly esteemed University of Southern California.
