David Givens

David Givens is a fiction writer from Waterloo, Iowa, whose work has always centered one thing: the interior lives of people the world tends to look past.

He began his publishing career with the Betrayed trilogy (Triple Crown Publications), street lit with genuine narrative ambition, and spent the years since expanding into new genres without abandoning what made that early work land. His upcoming novel in romance science fiction, To Be Seen (Givens Production Group), marks the clearest expression yet of where that evolution has taken him: a lyrical, emotionally precise novel about an alien researcher who has spent centuries observing humanity and finally, dangerously, starts to feel it. The sequel, The Space We Carry, continues that story.

He lives in the Midwest with his wife and children, and that life, grounded, rooted, full, shows up in everything he writes.
