Bridget Tyler

I grew up in Berkeley, California in a house filled with books. I started telling stories before I could read, so my mother took dictation until I learned how to turn the words in my head into words on a page. She knew I was going to be a writer when I grew up, but it took me a while to catch up. I began my television career on USA Network's hit show BURN NOTICE. USA then bought and produced my first pilot, HORIZON. Gale Anne Hurd, legendary producer of everything from THE TERMINATOR to THE WALKING DEAD oversaw production. Since then I've developed original pilots for networks including AMC, BBC America, Fox, Starz, and Warner Brothers Television. THE PIONEER is the story of a young adult adventure story about a young woman struggling to deal with the loss of her beloved big brother while her family struggles to survive on a brand new planet. It will be published by HarperTeen in March of 2019. These days, I live in Oregon with my husband, a Robotics professor at Oregon State University, and my daughter, a toddler who loves to sing.
