About the author

Scott Cravens

Scott Cravens is an American writer and humorist whose work captures the
nuance and subtlety of the American South. Born in Arkansas in the mid 90’s,
his work is reflective of the commonly held sentiment that he and his fellow
millennials share: "There is no American Dream. There is only this drab
American Reality."


As an undergraduate student, Scott became enamored with the writings of
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Cormac McCarthy, Albert Camus and various other greats
while working on the completion of his degree in Social Science. Before he
graduated from Harding University (central Arkansas) in 2018, he worked as an editorial reader for the University's journal publication Tenor of Our Times.
From 2021-2023 Scott attended Johns Hopkins University where he further
tempered his craft, while completing his Masters in Writing.


Writing short stories became a passion, by which he continually tries to
write a short story once a month, for the sake of writing itself. Currently, he is
invested in his job as a high school educator in Norman, Oklahoma where he
teaches AP World Literature, AP Humanities, and American Literature.
