Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Ken Schneyer's fiction has appeared, or soon will appear, in Analog, Clockwork Phoenix 3, GUD Magazine, Odyssey, Nature Physics, and the Newport Review, among others. He is a 2009 graduate of the Clarion Writers Workshop and a member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America.
During his strange career, he has worked as an actor, a dishwasher, a corporate lawyer, a college teacher, a clerk-typist, an IT project manager, and the assistant dean of a technology school. He returned to the writing of fiction as an act of desperation while waiting for home renovations in 2006. Born in Detroit, he now lives in Rhode Island with a houseful of performing artists, all of whom appear on his tax returns.
