Malcolm Boyd
Book publishing & sales; independent film screenwriter
Author Malcolm Boyd is a born and bred native of Denver, Colorado. Having consistently dabbled in creative writing and poetry in his youth, Mr. Boyd’s writings were discovered by a small San Francisco-based publishing house.
His first novel, ‘One Way In, No Way Out’ was published, introducing readers to main character, Mann Walker. Reviewing the book, San Francisco Examiner Arts & Entertainment Editor Leslie Katz stated, “There’s something kind of lovable about Mann Walker, the drug dealer at the center of Malcolm Boyd’s urban thriller, One Way In, No Way Out… Fast and fun. One Way In…has undeniable cinematic appeal. Readers may find themselves casting the movie as the story unfolds.” Immersing himself in writing and publishing, Malcolm moved from California to New York City. There he created Three-Legged Elephant Publishing, LLC, geared expressly to work with new authors within the rapid growing self-publishing industry.
The first book from Three-Legged Publishing was Malcolm’s semi-autobiographical kids’ book, ‘My First Train’ (2017). The strength of the Mann Walker character almost demanded more adventures so the second book in the trilogy, ‘Mann In The Middle’, was released in early 2018. Book Three of the Mann Walker trilogy, “Good Night Bad Day”, is due for a Spring 2021 release. Never one to sit still, Malcolm was also featured as a contributing writer in the 2019 book, ‘Our Stories, Our Voices: Black Men Speak Their Truth’.
He also created short works for live theater. His original play, Six Ways ‘til Sunday, was produced in Hudson Guild Theater’s 2018 Winterfest competition (part of the New York Theater Festival), and the Long Island City [NYC] Secret Theater 2018 Short Play Competition. Malcolm is currently busy producing and directing the potential episodic version of “One Way In…”, as well as being the creative writer and director for the online comedy series, “Captain Save-A-Thot.” Mr. Boyd’s driving force is his true belief that it’s never too late in life to live life. One Way In, No Way Out, and Mann in the Middle, are all available at MannWalker.com.
