About Paul
Paul Haney is an essayist, journalist, poet, songwriter, and cat guy. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing: Nonfiction from Emerson College ('17) and an MA in Literature from Florida State University ('12). Currently, he's working on two different books: a queer Bob Dylan memoir, and a travel memoir recalling a summer spent bumbling around the U.S. via Amtrak. His work has appeared in Slate, Fourth Genre, The Rumpus, Hobart, Cincinnati Review, Sweet, Potomac Review, Essay Daily, the Boston Globe Magazine, the Tallahassee Democrat, and elsewhere, and has also received both a Pushcart Prize nomination and a notable selection in the Best American Essays, 2020. He and his husband live in Salem, Massachusetts, where he enjoys coffee-shop hopping. His wallet bulges with punch cards--nothing like getting that tenth one free.
