About Jeffrey

Before writing fiction, Jeffrey Weaver worked as a journalist, serving as managing editor of an academic journal which explored issues surrounding religion. He has also written for a variety of print and online publications, among them The American Reader and Publisher's Weekly. Weaver’s darkly comic novel-in-progress is set in the near future in an unnamed American city. The story imagines life in a world "after paper," in which physical matter and human contact are increasingly suspect. Weaver was a De Alba Fellow and a School of the Arts Fellow at Columbia University, where he has taught fiction workshops and a seminar. In recent years, he has been a fellow at the Yaddo and Catwalk artist residencies as well as the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. The writer lives in Hatfield, Massachusetts with his two daughters. When not running along the Connecticut or Hudson rivers, he is rummaging, haggling over, organizing, and otherwise fetishizing too many vinyl records.
