Ryan Riley

Ryan Riley is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and science fiction author. Born and raised in Amarillo, Texas, he spent two years teaching English as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Benin, West Africa — experiences that shaped his fascination with how societies survive, adapt, and fracture. His fiction brings a cinematic eye to speculative futures, grounded in the quietly terrifying logic of the world we're already living in. Stories of a Possible Future is his debut short story collection.
