About the Author

Trevor Spisto dives into history to inspire his creative writing.

Trevor was born and raised on Staten Island, New York, and studied history & creative writing at the College of Staten Island. Walking through parks, he would make up stories that he later put to paper.

By nineteen, Trevor penned his first feature-length screenplay, which was picked up and developed by Monarex Hollywood.

After earning his Master’s in Special Education, Trevor embarked on a teaching career, a path that coincided with the onset of the pandemic. This challenging period also offered an opportunity to transform his screenplay into his debut novel, “The Tiger and the Crane.”

Beyond writing, Trevor’s passions include immersing himself in great novels, traveling to historically rich destinations, playing games, and cherishing moments with friends and family.
