About Sean Patrick Riley

My aim --

To tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. ​

About me --

I write journalism, poetry, and non-fiction to galvanize myself and others to preserve what's good. At least on this plane, humanism is my religion. I love a good literal and metaphorical tailwind.​

​

I live where I was born: Seattle. I'm always at work on something.  ​My article about urban cycle touring in southern California will be out in Adventure Cycling in 2026. I am trying to be at work on a memoir about coming of age in America's unwinding. ​​Everything I do is simultaneously hoping for a future readers and racing against the post-literate clock.
