本名石平庄一。1960年出生于东京，成蹊大学经济系毕业。七岁时就想当作家，却因为成功之路不容易，且对人有轻微的恐惧症，先在别的行业转了几圈，做过地下铁工人、保安、仓库管理，也曾任职日本广告公司，最后以自由文案工作者身份活跃于业界。写作时喜欢聆听古典音乐，所以作品非常具有音乐性，流畅起伏，高潮迭起。
石田衣良初试啼声的第一部作品立刻就得到了“ALL读物推理小说新人奖”的副赏，接下来更以第二部作品得到了日本最具权威的大众小说奖“直木赏”，开始了他的作家生涯。2001年的作品《娼年》和2002年的《骨音》分别为第126回及第128回直木赏候补作，2003年以《4TEEN》获得第129回直木赏。作品题材广泛，包括青少年犯罪小说、经济犯罪悬疑小说、情欲小说、爱情小说，都是他的创作领域。
在石田衣良得到直木赏后，日本文学评论家给他一个响亮的称号――“现代感觉的妙手”，并以此称号为他做了
