About

Dustin Triplett

I'm an award-winning creative non-fiction writer, published poet, screenwriter, and filmmaker.

I started my writing career as a video game journalist writing for the likes of Front Towards Gamer, Yahoo, Examiner, College Life, and The Gamer Zone. Most notably, I co-founded the website Geekenstein and co-hosted the subsequent podcast Nuts and Bolts. I’ve since moved on to other things.

I have a degree in English, so I like to think I know a thing or two about the written word and how to frame the world around me. During my time at East Central College, I was a multimedia editor for the school newspaper, magazine, and website. In addition, I was the editor-in-chief for ECC's Literary Review. During my final year, I came in first place in ECC's 2016 Creative Non-fiction Writing Contest. Not to toot my own horn or anything but, you know, toot.

After several years of hiatus from writing, I was able to mentally reset myself and reconnect with deep passions I nearly forgot I had. These days you can find me creating independent short films and documentaries at Triplett Productions or entering my screenplays into national contests, hoping someone will take the bait.
