Travis Hunter is an American author of urban fiction. He initially self-published his first novel, The Hearts of Men, in 2000 through his own company, Jimrose Publishing House.

The Hearts of Men was re-released through their Strivers Row/Villard division in May 2001. Since then, Hunter has had eight more novels published. His most recent novel Married but Not Really (2018), was again self-published by his Jimrose Publishing House.
Born in Florence, South Carolina, Hunter was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Clark Atlanta University and Georgia State University. He is a U.S. Army veteran.
