About Nathan

Nathan Grimm is a U.S. Army veteran and former paratrooper with ten years and multiple deployments under his belt. Now a speculative fiction storyteller and freelance writer, he uses myth and allegory to confront injustice and explore the human cost of conflict.

His short story The Weight of Innocence, inspired by real events in Gaza, was selected for the 2025 New Media Film Festival’s Writer’s Block program. His previous work Mariposa: Angels of Valhalla placed in multiple international competitions.

"Experience writes stories that classrooms can't teach."

Nathan Grimm writes to provoke thought—especially when silence is more convenient.
