ⓘ About Bob Reiss / Ethan Black

Bob Reiss is a bestselling American author that writes both fiction and nonfiction. Reiss writes what some people might call eco-fiction. His books talk a lot about the environment, in particular, the Arctic. His determination to succeed as a writer was best manifested by his enrollment at the University of Oregon and eventual graduation with an MFA. Interestingly enough, Reiss had better luck as a journalist than he did as an author of fiction and nonfiction, at least at the start. Bob Reiss must have been thirteen when he decided that he wanted to pursue a publishing career. Unfortunately for him, his first novel was terrible, and the publishers to which he submitted his manuscript told him as much. It took Reiss over a decade to make any significant headway in publishing.
