Sarah Murphree
Memoir Writer, Screenwriter, Actress
When Sarah was 7-years-old her first grade teacher held her after class to have a "talk." Sarah didn't know what she did wrong. She loved school. Okay, maybe she laughed too loud and asked too many questions. But the world was a fascinating place and she wanted to know all about it. "Sarah, I asked you to write an original story. Where did you find this story?" Sarah, was very confused by this question. “I wrote it,” she said. And then good ole' Ms. Spears looked Sarah in the eye and said, "This is your gift. Never stop writing."
Flash forward years later, Sarah became a photojournalist in third world countries, she won first place at The Nashville Film Festival for an original screenplay, and was 1 of 20 writers chosen for publication in "Time of the Month: Funny Female Storytelling." Raised in a big Irish Catholic family in the South (30 first cousins to be exact) telling stories was what you did, and she relished in the world of her vibrant relatives.
But Sarah's passion extended beyond writing; she also wanted to bring stories to life through acting. Embracing both art forms, she skillfully balanced her time between her love for both writing and performance. Her acting credits include roles on ABC, Lifetime, Discovery, BET+, and appearances in over 20 national commercials.
