Richard Banks

Richard Banks is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and award-winning short story writer. On his official site, he describes himself as an explorer at heart, and says his wide experience of living, working, or traveling across all fifty U.S. states and more than forty countries helps shape the settings and moral complexity in his fiction.

His published work includes literary fiction such as The Price of Ash, Blue Helmets, and Me & Mickey. Across those projects, he appears to focus on character-driven stories with an international reach.

Banks also works across forms beyond novels, with writing credits in theater and screen projects. That mix of interests gives his author profile a broad, versatile feel while keeping storytelling at the center.
