Todd
Garlington spent his childhood in the Australian Capital Territory and his
youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. Film school brought him to Los Angeles, but
a love of language ultimately prevailed over an interest in images. He
graduated from the University of Southern California with a Masters in
Professional Writing. After a rigorous stint in film and television where he
served more as a factotum than a wordsmith, he transitioned to the vocation of independent
author. His written work explores temporality, decadence, and the paradoxes of
personal and cultural identity.
