John Cunningham is a fiction writer and screenwriter with formal training in both disciplines. He studied fiction writing in college before relocating to Los Angeles to attend film school. His dual background in literary prose and cinematic storytelling gives his fiction a visceral quality that moves with the pacing of a film and the emotional depth of literary traditions. Born in Minnesota, he draws on his Midwestern roots to infuse his debut novel with authentic yearning, restlessness, and hard-won discovery. He currently works in the film industry in Los Angeles.
