Chances are, you’ve never heard of James Lower, but, according to his dad, he’s actually pretty cool. When not teaching creative writing to 4th graders or hypothesizing about which side of the poverty line his MFA will lead him to, he writes fiction and creative nonfiction of variable lengths.

His work has appeared in various online and print publications including the Story Week Reader, Reservoir magazine, and the Santa Clara Review. He also co-publishes the Atlanta-based APlusPlus magazine with four other members of Morningside Elementary’s storied class of ‘92.

He is currently at work on his debut story collection as well as a memoir, Maybe the Waves. He hopes it will become increasingly strange that you haven’t read his work in the coming decade.
