Frank Riley

Frank Riley was the pen name of Frank Wilbert Rhylick (June 8, 1915 – April 24, 1996), an American science fiction writer. He is most closely associated with They'd Rather Be Right, written with Mark Clifton and awarded the 1955 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Beyond fiction, he also worked in journalism. Sources describe him as a syndicated travel columnist and an editor for the Los Angeles Times, and also as an editor of Los Angeles Magazine.

Although his fiction output was not large, his name remains familiar to science fiction readers because of that award-winning collaboration and his connection to the magazine era of classic SF.
