Biography

As a writer with Asperger’s/high functioning autism, Dylan thrives on using his neurodiverse perspective to create intricate character-driven arcs in the middle of action-packed stories. He struggled with interpersonal relationships throughout his childhood, but as he went into young adulthood, he met a diversity of people who finally understood him and helped him to better understand himself, showing him the joy in strong relationships. Therefore, he loves to construct dynamic, complicated relationships among well-rounded characters, using high stakes and external obstacles to deepen each character.

After graduating with a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Central Oklahoma in May 2018, Dylan went on to do a variety of screenwriting as he first wrote educational scripts for Rozzy Learning Company. Soon after, Sage Hill Publishing also began releasing his space opera novel trilogy, SURVIVAL DARK TIMES, which reached #2 on various Amazon bestseller lists.
