Biography

Alan Wild’s love for storytelling began in childhood, weaving tales inspired by his small-town surroundings and vivid imagination.

Alan’s creative impulses come from a mix of sensory detail and emotional truth. He remembers the smell of rain on hot asphalt, the way a single streetlight can make a town look like a stage, and he uses those images to anchor scenes that move between realism and the quietly uncanny. His characters are often people at a hinge moment—returning home, making a hard choice, or discovering an unexpected kindness—and his prose favors small, precise gestures that reveal larger truths.

He treats photographs and friends’ stories as raw material—stitching images and voices and molding the fragments until they become fully refined scenes that breathe.
