My name is Darren Manley…
…and I’m in love with words.
Words are my life. They’re thrilling. Intimate. Revealing. Sweet. They change lives, challenge beliefs, and spread hope. They have done all of this for me, and I hope they’ll do the same for you.
I am an author, screenwriter, law student, and speaker. My journalism has appeared in the Los Angeles Times and my fiction in Stoneboat Literary Journal, which reprinted my short story “Cactus” in their 10th Anniversary edition as a reader and editor favorite. I have also spoken as a guest expert on BBC Radio and hosted writing workshops for the diverse LA County Library system.
I am writing my first book, a memoir, and just optioned a feature film script to a major studio. I look forward to sharing more with you soon and hope you’ll come along for the ride!
