Ethan Avery is a writer and filmmaker based in Cincinnati, Ohio. His critically-acclaimed debut novel Sword and Sorcery: Frostfire reached #1 on Amazon’s Best Seller list for Epic Fantasy and has gone on to be a Literary Titan Gold Book Award winner. A Semi-Finalist for the Indies Today Awards. A Purple Dragonfly Book Award Runner-Up. And an Honorable Mention in Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards. The sequel to Sword and Sorcery: Frostfire is currently in the works.
Ethan is also the director of the multi-award-nominated film, The Mayor Jones, which was inspired by Nobel Prize and Tony Award winner Eugene O’Neill’s, The Emperor Jones. Ethan also directed 365 Days, 365 Plays from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks for The Ohio State University Theatre Department. And he’s currently preparing production on his next film.
Ethan believes in the power of stories. As a child growing up in Ohio, they gave him a chance to see a bigger world, and to hear what life was like for people that didn’t look like him or believe what he did. And now, years later, he hopes to do the same for others. When he’s not writing novels, directing movies, or wasting other people’s time with his YouTube channel, Ethan plays video games (poorly), basketball (painfully), and Dungeons & Dragons (problematically with praiseworthy peers).
