Roland Ashford Phillips, whose story, "The Intruder," was printed in the Metropolitan Magazine for November, was born in New Jersey, but about ten years ago he went West, and now makes his home in Denver. After leaving school he went into the advertising business, but after five years gave it up for the broader fields of literature, and for the past three years he has devoted himself solely to writing, contributing to such magazines as Harper's, the Red Book, the Metropolitan, the Bohemian, and the Illustrated Sunday Magazines. For some time Street & Smith have taken most of his work, written under several pen names, for their various publications. Mr. Phillips is at present engaged on special article work on matters of national interest — especially of the West — for prominent editors. He is a frequent contributor to the Technical World, both in the line of fiction and special articles. He has also written several novels which have appeared in different magazines. Mr. Phillips is now twenty-four years old, and spends part of his time in travel. He always manages to reach New York at least once a year.
