ABOUT

David Hicks

David Hicks grew up in Harrison, NY (ten miles north of the Bronx) and attended Nazareth College of Rochester (BA), Saint Bonaventure University (MA), and NYU (PhD). He has been an English professor for many years, but in his forties he decided to stop writing about writers and start being a writer himself.

Since then, he has published many short stories and a debut novel, WHITE PLAINS (Conundrum Press, now Bower House Books) in 2017. His new novel, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DANNY, is forthcoming (2025) by Vine Leaves Press, and his children’s book, THE MAGIC TICKET, will be published in July 2024.

David is the Director of Creative Writing at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and the co-founder (with his wife Cynthia) of Electric City Writers.

David will be touring from July 2024 to July 2025. For details of his appearances and updates on his career, join David’s newsletter at the bottom of this page.
