Portrait of C. Rich, founder of America Speaks Ink, conservative author and cultural commentator

C. Rich is a Generation X author, poet, ghostwriter, and cultural commentator known for his unapologetic voice and sardonic wit. Raised on the streets and beaches of South Florida, his formative years were chronicled in the book Misers of Miramar—a coming-of-age tale in the spirit of A River Runs Through It, set in that twilight era just before the internet, when life was lived with one foot in the old world and one in the new.

A lifelong backpacker and adventurer, C. Rich has hiked much of the Appalachian Trail—from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mt. Katahdin in Maine—and climbed the tallest peaks east of the Mississippi. His writing has been recognized by CNBC, called a fascist by Kat Timpf of Fox News, and has reached audiences across the globe.

His best-selling book, The Sporto, dives deep into the wild and gritty hard rock scene of the 1980s, capturing the raw energy of a generation. His writing journey began in 2008 covering the Casey Anthony trial, eventually branching into politics and cultural commentary.

Love him or hate him—there’s no middle ground. Nicknamed “the Archie Bunker of the 21st century,” C. Rich rails against political correctness with sharp humor, raw honesty, and an eye for uncomfortable truth. Following his work means embracing the politically incorrect, the insightful, and sometimes the downright unhinged.
