ABOUT RIC HESS

Ric Hess is a Chicago-based writer with a passion for great storytelling. On this Website you'll find samples of Ric's work, a bit of commentary on the business of writing, and a few handy tools for other writers to reference. The content is in constant flux so check back often, and don't be afraid to throw in your own two cents if you read something that leaves you inspired or incensed; inspired is good, but incensed is often better. Or at least more interesting.

Ric specializes in noir fiction and true crime, his stories often constructed upon themes involving Chicago, Illinois, where he lives and works.

He is also a screenwriter interested in developing collaborative movie projects with an emphasis on settings here in Chicago. So if you've got an idea, give him a call.
