While Scarrow’s credits include writing for shows such as Ride, Being Erica, Lost Girl and Degrassi: The Next Generation, she recently told The TV Junkies that nothing is quite like Wynonna Earp and its fans are on a whole other level. Scarrow joined Wynonna full-time in Season 3, after previously freelancing for the show in Season 1 when she wrote the episode “Diggin’ Up Bones”. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of the writers, including Shelley Scarrow. At this convention, the writers were just as big rock stars as the cast and they watched last week’s episode live with fans. That was certainly the case this past weekend when the Wynonna Earp Season 3 writers - showrunner Emily Andras, Brendon Yorke, Noelle Carbone, Shelley Scarrow, Caitlin Fryers and Matt Doyle - found themselves on a panel and signing autographs at the Earper Homestead Convention. As with most things, the fans of Wynonna Earp are special in that regard and seem to love and interact with the writers of the show just as much as the actors involved. That’s not the case in the Wynonna Earp fandom.

Everyone notices the pretty people up on screen saying all the words you wrote, but often times writers don’t get the credit they deserve.

When you’re a television writer you’re often relegated to the background.
