A well-known Century City Producer once said that Jo Sparkes ".writes some of the best dialogue I've read." Not only are those words a compliment to Jo's skills as a writer, but a true reflection of her commitment to her work as a screenwriter. Jo Sparkes graduated Magna Cum Laude from Washington College, a small liberal arts college famous for its creative writing program. Some years later, she renounced life in the corporate world to pursue her passion for writing. Jo went on to study for two years with Robert Powell; a student of renowned writers and teachers Lew Hunter, and Richard Walter, head and heart of UCLA's Screenwriting Program. The culmination of those years of hard work was the short-film "The Image", which Jo wrote and produced single-handedly. Since then, Jo hasn't looked back - having written seven feature film scripts.

Jo's body of work includes scripts for Children's live-action and animated television programs, a direct to video Children's DVD, commercial work for corporate clients, as well as a being a feature writer on ReZoom.com. As a contributing writer for the Arizona Sports Fans Network; where she has been called their most popular writer, she was known for her humorous articles, player interviews and game coverage. Jo was unofficially the first to interview Emmitt Smith when he arrived in Arizona to play for the Cardinals. She has served as an adjunct teacher at the Film School at Scottsdale Community College, and even made a video of her most beloved lecture. More recently she has teamed with a Producer and a Director on a low budget thriller. Her book for writers and artists, "Feedback How to Give It How to Get It" was just released last year. When not diligently perfecting her craft, Jo can be found exploring her new home of Portland, Oregon, with her Husband Ian, and their dog Oscar.
