Langston

Marc is an FY’24, ‘25, & ‘26 DC Arts and Humanities Fellow awarded for fiction.

Marc Benjamin Langston is an American writer and attorney whose storytelling intertwines historical accuracy, LGBTQ+ representation, and immersive narrative. A three-time DC Arts and Humanities Fellow awarded for fiction, he is the writer and co-creator of the occult-noir audio drama "Dupont Investigations," set in a shadowy 1936 Washington. Across that series and his longform fiction, Langston brings to light the lives of gay characters in the early twentieth century, carving a distinctive niche in both the literary and audio-drama landscapes and reminding us that history is a complex mosaic worthy of exploration and celebration.

“A great story can power us through a tough exam, a long shift, or provide solace amidst pain or loss. While some tales depict real individuals defying insurmountable odds, historical figures often assume a mythical aura when juxtaposed with our fictional companions.”

Marc's passion for politics and history exerts an unmistakable influence on his work.
