Tracy Wilson is an Emmy and Cine Golden Eagle award-winner who writes stories of heart. She’s a hope-slinger, lover of the underdog, eternal optimist, God girl, and believer in miracles. Tracy finds meaning in the everyday life and puts it into words that reach deep places within us, helping us to bask in life's beauty and navigate its heart ache. She has interviewed Oprah Winfrey, Darius Rucker, Richard Petty, her childhood favorite, Captain Kangaroo, and many more.
Throughout her years anchoring news and hosting TV shows, Tracy witnessed the crazy, the beautiful, the redeeming, the terrifying, the unforgettable. Along the way, she wrote thousands of scripts about incredible people, places, and experiences. Her TV career spans nearly twenty years at broadcasting outlets including ABC Sports and ESPN. Tracy also hosted one of the top rated local morning TV shows in the U.S. and was an occasional reporter for the HGTV show, "Haven." She’s now a freelancer who writes and does voice overs for feature videos, documentaries and commercials. But most of her time is currently spent writing a true story about a single decision that set off a series of seemingly impossible events, leading a father to a daughter and an underdog team to a history-making comeback, setting dreams in motion and changing the trajectory of lives. All of it unfurled because of a sacrifice that Tracy came close to never knowing had happened… even though it was made for her. She says this is the story every other has prepared her for, the one she was literally born to tell.
This Underdog writer is Canadian by birth, but lives in North Carolina with her British husband, two sons, and a female dog who is her only hope for girl-talk at home. Tracy is a passionate traveler who loves getting to know the people, culture and food in the places she visits. She is an adoptee and a hockey fan, two things that don’t seem to go together, but are very much connected in her past and her present. Writing is an integral part of Tracy’s life, her way of reaching out to others and connecting, heart to heart. Because of that, she plans to continue weaving words until she takes her last breath.
