I’m Harvey Stanbrough.

I was born in New Mexico, seasoned in Texas and baked in Arizona,

so I’m pretty much done.

For a time, I wrote under a few personas and several pseudonyms,

but I take a pill for that now and write only under my own name. Mostly.

You can read about my personas here.

They each have their own short, interesting bio.

I am a prolific professional fiction writer by pretty much any standard. In just over 8 years I’ve written over 85 novels, 9 novellas, and around 250 short stories across several genres. None of that is a typo.

I’ve also compiled around 30 short story collections and several lauded, major-prize-nominated poetry collections and nonfiction books on the craft of writing. None of my nonfiction how-to books are fluff, and none of them mimic the writing myths you will find in almost all other how-to books on writing fiction.

All of that is in addition to hundreds of articles, essays and blog posts. On a typical day, I write 3000 words of fiction and around a thousand words of nonfiction in my Daily Journal. You can subscribe, free, at https://harveystanbrough.substack.com/.
