Meet Beverly Gandara

Welcome.

I am an award-winning author and screenwriter, recognized both nationally and internationally, drawn to stories rooted in real lives, quiet courage, and the resilience of the human spirit.

My catalogue consists of five books and six screenplays. At this stage of my career, I am concentrating on opportunities involving my existing intellectual property, including acquisition, licensing, development, adaptation, and production.

I began writing screenplays after retiring from the corporate world, motivated by people whose experiences moved me deeply and, in my opinion, deserved to be heard. My work spans historical fiction, drama, suspense, comedy, and family stories—many inspired by or based on true events and adapted for both the page and the screen.

I write to give voice to those who might otherwise go unheard, exploring the challenges and triumphs of everyday people with honesty, warmth, and emotional depth. I am deeply grateful to those who have trusted me with their journeys so that I may share them with others.

I believe that “Art inspires, pleases the eyes, and softly kisses the soul.” Every cover in my book collection features an original work of art by an artist whose work spoke to me long before these books were published.

My husband and I purchased each painting because we loved it—not because we were looking for book covers. Years later, each painting found the story it was meant to tell.

We are deeply grateful to the artists who generously permitted their work to become part of these books:

Today, these original paintings hang in our home, each connected to a book whose story it was chosen to represent.

Beyond my writing, I am passionate about children and literacy. I volunteer with Freedom Readers, supporting efforts to help underserved individuals build confidence and possibility through reading, and I proudly support initiatives such as the Children’s Book Expo that celebrate and promote literacy and a love of books.
