Stacy Marr
Stacy has been creating stories since she was five. She drew numerous pictures, and her father transcribed the story as the action unfolded on each page. Thus began Stacy’s writing career.
Her third-grade teacher was so impressed with one of Stacy’s short stories that she sent it to a well-known publisher. With encouragement from her teachers and mentors, she kept writing, and her poems and short stories appeared in the school’s newsletter.
Stacy graduated from the prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. After graduating, she moved to Boston, then New York City, and eventually settled in Los Angeles. There, she wrote, acted, and produced two short films: Getting Lucky and No One Island, the latter of which she also co-directed. Both films found success on the film festival circuit, winning several awards, including Honorable Mention for Getting Lucky at the Indie Gathering Film Festival, Best Comedy Film at the Deep-Fried Film Festival in Scotland, and Best Short Film at the Estes Park Film Festival in Colorado.
In 2013, Stacy began blogging about her humanitarian trip to Ghana, West Africa. Her stories gained the attention of the non-profit organization CMoma (now Kidsave), where she became a contributing writer.
Stacy is a member of the National Association of Memoir Writers and the Independent Writers of Southern California. She has several writing projects in development, including her recently completed manuscript. When she’s not writing, Stacy enjoys hiking, theater, and volunteering within her community.
