Harker Jones
Los Angeles–based author, screenwriter and editor
Harker Jones grew up on a dirt road in Michigan in a town so small it doesn’t to this day have a traffic light. Now a Los Angeles denizen, he has written the #1 best-selling love story “Until September,” which has sold more than 4,000 copies worldwide and was a Top 3 finalist in the Page Turner Awards, a Top 7 finalist in the American Writing Awards, a finalist in the Tucson Festival of Books Literary Awards and a winner in the Reader Views Literary Awards.
He was asked to contribute to the charity anthology “Reflections” from Gold Dust Publishing and his first children’s book, “Violet’s Pretty Purple Playground,” is due for publication in 2024.
The author of nine screenplays, revealing truths through humor and horror, Harker’s short thrillers “Cole & Colette” and “One-Hit Wonder” have been accepted into more than 60 film festivals combined, garnering several awards.
He was managing editor of “Out” magazine for seven years, spent two in gay porn, worked at Disney Publishing, and now writes theater reviews for Broadway World.
A member of both the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and Mensa, he loves cats and carbs and would like to be a one-hit wonder but would settle for being killed in a slasher movie.
