Sidney Williams Bio

Sidney Williams worked as a newspaper reporter for eleven years. In his early days as a general assignment reporter, his shift was 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., so he wrote fiction in the early morning hours, completing most of his work from midnight until 2 a.m., ironically an appropriate time for dark fiction.

He completed the book that would become his first published novel when he was 26. The book took a few years to sell, but several additional novels followed, and eventually three young adult novels were published under the name Michael August. 

Comic book scripts followed and eventually audio drama scripts and a host of short stories. 

Sidney earned an M.F.A. in creative writing from Goddard College.
