Trevor Munson grew up in Texas, where he earned an M.A. in English Literature from Texas State University, graduating with honors. He then moved to Los Angeles with the goal of pursuing a career as a Hollywood screenwriter.
Trevor's early success included writing a television movie for Fox based on the real-life theft of seventeen million dollars from Loomis Fargo. The same year, his spec script, Lone Star State of Mind, starring Josh Jackson, Jamie King, and John Cougar Mellencamp, was made by Sony ScreenGems.
Following this, Trevor adapted John Welter's novel "I Want to Buy a Vowel" for New Line Cinema. He then adapted his debut novel Angel of Vengeance into a pilot script that served as the basis for the CBS television series "Moonlight", starring Alex O'Loughlin, 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 since 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.
Most recently, Trevor went back to Texas to shoot his indie horror feature, Grandma's House (2018),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.
In addition to his writing career, Trevor is dedicated to sharing his expertise with younger generations of writers and filmmakers. He consults on scripts, leads targeted writing workshops, and teaches a thesis prep writing class at the University of Southern California.
