About
Dr. Stephanie Derrick is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and award-winning historian. She writes comedies and dramas (of all sorts) that upend, examine or play with modern beliefs about historical subjects—whether Oscar Wilde, nineteenth-century missionaries, Hawaiian translations or whatever the muse brings. Her comedic sensibility leans irreverent, silly and macabre.
On the non-fiction side, her monograph The Fame of C. S. Lewis (Oxford University Press, 2018) compared the social, cultural and religious histories of twentieth-century Britain and America. Other projects have examined women’s contributions to publishing history, British children’s literature and the history of The Los Angeles Athletic Club. She received her PhD in History from the University of Stirling (Scotland).
