Long bio (150 words)

Richard R. Dos Santos is the author of four books and describes himself as an apprentice of everything, a master of nothing. Born in Caracas, he moved to Newark at fifteen, served in the United States Army, and worked through entrepreneurship, entertainment, and public life before he sat down to write. His first three books, written in English, move through fame and status (Working with Celebrities), tribalism and inherited bias (We Are Not Racists), and the search for purpose and connection (Logged INN). His fourth book, Cuando Las Lágrimas Hablan, is the first written originally in Spanish: a novel based on true events about a family that refuses to break under the weight of poverty, betrayal, and secrets kept for generations. He writes from the conviction that to write about life, you first have to live it.

Topics he can speak on

  • Migration and identity: from Caracas to Newark at fifteen.
  • Inherited poverty and what passes between generations.
  • Family secrets: why they are kept and what it costs to break them.
  • Writing from lived experience rather than from a credential.
  • Independent publishing and building an audience without a publisher.
