Craig Buchner
Born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains in New York, Craig has lived in Idaho, Oregon, Tokyo, and today he calls Charlotte, North Carolina his home. All of these places have greatly influenced his work.
He is the recipient of the AWP Intro Journals Award, and his fiction and poetry have appeared in Tin House, Baltimore Review, Chicago Quarterly Review, Cincinnati Review, and Puerto del Sol, among others.
Craig’s first collection of short stories, Brutal Beasts, was named by Kirkus Reviews as one of the “Best Indie Books of the Year” in 2022 and was a finalist for the National Indie Excellence Awards.
Fish Cough is his debut novel and prior to its release (Feb. 14, 2023), LoveReading has chosen it as an “Indie Books We Love” and San Francisco Book Review gave it 5 out of 5 stars!
