Morgan Read-Davidson appears as many avatars. A graduate of Chapman University’s film school in 2002, he won a Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting from the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, and worked as screenwriter in Los Angeles. At the same time, he completed a Masters in English Studies and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Chapman (2007), and began teaching Rhetoric and Creative Writing.  He moonlights as a living history Iron Age re-enactor, disappears for periods into the alpine reaches of the Cascades, Sierras, and Rocky Mountains, and has been sighted wrangling child actors for musical theatre productions. He writes historical fiction, memoir, rhetorical criticism, praxis in pedagogy, and indie screenplays. Instead of sleep he plays video games. He joined Chapman’s English department in 2010, and developed the Iluminación Writing Program to create bridges between the university ivory tower and the local community. He currently directs the Rhetoric and Writing program and undergraduate Creative Writing. His most important role, however, is as his daughter’s nightly bard, where he tells the ongoing epic of “Rocky Raccoon and Harvey the Dog.”
