Biography:
Ivan Wright was born and raised in Trenton, NJ where he attended Trenton’s public school system. His affinity for the sciences led him to Indiana University of PA where he received his Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy.

Writing began for Ivan while in college and continued as a “serious hobby” for many years. His formalized literary wok and fiction novel development began several years ago and has resulted in two novels: Black People: For Entertainment Purposes Only and Indentured Scholars: The Inner City Scandal (publication release October 2007).

Ivan’s books deal dramatically and humorously with the many threads of the African American experience. His characters are rich in content and speak to the interest of the seasoned and introspective readers. Woven within the pages is the appreciation of human values that were once common pillars in all communities. Through “ancestral whisperings,” we are reminded that love, family and acceptance, name us all.

Be it romance, suspense, violence or relationships, Ivan’s novels will give the reader a chance to laugh, cry or just reminisce. Most of all, his stories will offer all an opportunity to continue the dialogue regarding our wondrously dynamic African American journey!
