Author: Jonathan Hickman

Jonathan Hickman is an attorney who lives in Georgia. Struggling with dyslexia and learning disabilities, Jonathan grew up watching movies and learning to read. Movies taught him the classics, but he was introduced to literature by his father who read to him often primarily concentrating on the works of Steinbeck and Hemingway. Still, both Jonathan and his father considered Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Tarzan of the Apes” to be their favorite novel, just call it a guilty pleasure. By high school, Jonathan had learned to read well enough to complete comic books and to skim larger works of fiction. He found text books and non-fiction to be easier to manage given their layout and devoured them staying up all night before an exam to digest every word of text. Eventually, he graduated as valedictorian and went onto college at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, where he achieved degrees in English and Political Science. After attending law school at the University of Memphis, Jonathan returned home to Georgia, where he practiced law privately for eight years. He now serves as the Public Defender for the State Court of Coweta County.
