Peter Atah is a Nigerian author and movie editor from Cross River, Nigeria. He grew up listening to stories around firelight — stories of hunters, survival, and night. He writes African fiction that is raw, emotional, and rooted in the Nigerian experience. His debut works, The Hunters Diary and Lonely Nights, explore family, survival, anxiety, and young love in modern Nigeria. He is currently working on expanding both novels and adapting his stories for film.
