Sarah Jane Murray

Sarah Jane Murray is an Irish-born story designer, and educator.

She leads workshop-style classes at Baylor University as an Associate Professor of Great Texts and Creative Writing.[1] Murray is the author of From Plato to Lancelot: A Preface to Chretien de Troyes (Syracuse UP, 2008),[2] and "Basics of Story Design" (2017). Murray's 2014 TEDx on storytelling in San Antonio [3] was followed by a second talk at TEDx Santa Cruz on storytelling ethics, entitled "Write and Wrong."[4]

Murray's interest in storytelling spans from the films and VR experiences of the 21st century back to the origins. In 2011, she was awarded a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) to translate the Ovide moralisé, an important cultural story of the Middle Ages.[5][6] In 2018, she was selected for the inaugural cohort of #50WomenCan Change the World in Media & Entertainment.[7]
