First novel in The Origin Mystery trilogy in development as a major motion picture 

Registration is open for the March 22 online workshop, A Writing Journey with A.G. Riddle. He will talk about how he leapt from self-publishing into the larger publishing world, and the path he traveled relying on self-marketing his works. This will be a conversational event, with lots of time for Q&A. The workshop will take place on Zoom, and the registration deadline is March 20. To register, visit www.wswriters.org/workshops-and-seminars. Registration is free for members and $25 for nonmembers. Annual membership is $40. 

Riddle is the author of three series (13 science-fiction/thriller novels). His debut novel, “The Atlantis Gene,” is the first book in a trilogy (The Origin Mystery) that has sold over three million copies worldwide, has been translated into 24 languages, and is in development to be a major motion picture. His fourth novel, “Departure,” follows the survivors of a flight that takes off in 2015 and crash-lands in a changed world. HarperCollins published the novel in hardcover in the fall of 2015, and 20th Century Fox is developing it for a feature film.  

A.G. Riddle grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill. During his sophomore year in college, he started his first company with a childhood friend. He currently lives in Raleigh, with his wife, daughter, and an eccentric dog.
