scott g. hibbard

Scott attended public school in Helena, Montana, and received a BA in English Literature from Williams College and two graduate degrees—an MFA in Creative Writing and an MBA—from the University of Montana. He worked full-time for the family ranch for a number of years. While he continues his involvement with the ranch, he also operates a ranch management enterprise that provides management and consulting services to other ranches.

the ranch shaped how i value and interact with the land– 

its trees, grass, water, terrain, weather, moods, and soul. It defined me as a person of the West and a product of its working lands. It gave me a deep appreciation, and love, for people who live and work in its demanding landscape catering to the needs of land and all it nurtures – the ranchers and ranch hands who labor to make ranches viable. In some form, all of this lies at the heart of what I write. Oddly, it’s as if the ranch called me to do this, to give voice to some of its facets that might not otherwise be expressed, or at least expressed as I would express them. In some form, this is woven in the fabric of my historical fiction.
