Rick Hodges: Journalist

Rick Hodges is a professional writer by day and author by night. As a writer, Rick helps non-profit groups communicate with their members and supporters. A voyage to East Africa, and the experience of seeing how the people there lived in tandem with wildlife, inspired his debut novel, To Follow Elephants, which won a Nautilus Book Awards silver medal in 2020. Rick’s other fictional works include award-winning short stories and a stage play. He lives with his wife and daughters in Arlington, Virginia.
