Perk Perkins is an American author and award-winning journalist who spent a decade distilling life into his celebrated weekly newspaper column, The Smile Factor. A versatile storyteller with the scars to prove it, Perk moves fluidly between high-concept novels, novellas and razor-sharp screenplays.

​

Beyond the page, he has cut his teeth on set as a script doctor and developed an original television pilot. Currently, he’s focused on adapting his extensive library of fiction into cinematic features and shorts. Drawing on a background in stand-up comedy and live performance, Perk’s work brings a performer’s timing to every line, knowing exactly how to hold an audience’s attention until the very last frame. After a lifetime in the American Heartland, he has spent the last five years as a global nomad, writing from South Africa, Albania, and Sicily.
