Writer’s Bio

Sadie Fearon is a screenwriter, lesbian, and multi-disciplinary artist from Northern California. After being diagnosed with a hereditary chronic illness at fifteen, Sadie dove deep into the lore of the unwell women who came before her- witches, rodeo queens, and back-alley abortionists, who all shared a furious need to create art. Inspired by her unique matrilineage, Sadie’s stories center around queerness, disability, and complex women. She has a passion for creating authentic stories with a healthy dose of magic and comedy, because nothing builds humor like being young, hot, and disabled. 

Sadie graduated from the University of Southern California in 2021 with a BFA in Writing for Screen and Television. Her thesis script, A Nasty Habit, earned finalist and an honorable mention at Diverse Voices 2022, as well as quarterfinalist at Scriptapalooza, Big Break, and The Golden Script Competition. 

Her earlier work, The Ramp Less Traveled, was a quarterfinalist at the Austin Film Festival in 2021.
