Hi, I’m Ryan Forsythe. I’m a writer, editor, teacher, artist, and dad from Cleveland, now living in southern California, though I consider the State of Jefferson home (after spending 4 years living directly across the street from the scene above).
I’ve been studying writing for some time–received a B.A. in English/creative writing from Ohio State and an M.A. in teaching writing from Humboldt State. And now I’m working on an M.F.A. in creative writing at San Diego State, where I also serve as Assistant Editor with Fiction International.
My writing is mostly focused on fiction–short stories and novels–though I also write travel stories, family history, personal essays, the occasional poem, and children’s books for adults. In reading and writing, I am drawn to the offbeat and experimental in both form and content. In fact, the subtitle of my first novel will tell you a little about my styles and interests. Dick Cheney Saves Paris: A Personal and Political Madcap Sci-Fi Meta- Anti- Novel was released by Love Earth Publications on August 30, 2011, the same day as Cheney’s In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir (though I’m pretty sure mine is more fun to read.)
Please have a look around and feel free to drop a note if you have questions or comments.
