Profile from Roger Thompson's Personal Website About
Roger Thompson likes to write about all sorts of stuff, but mostly stuff that matters. Nature. War. Spanking. Stuff like that. He writes features and nonfiction, and he’s won some awards and published articles in some places you’d recognize. He’s even published fiction. In first grade, he published his first and only poem, about his ingrown toenail. It included an illustration, Roger’s only published artwork.
Roger confesses to enjoying scholarly writing too, even if peer review frustrates him from time to time, and he keeps doing that type of writing even though he isn’t always convinced it qualifies as “stuff that matters.” So, he keeps writing other stuff that he thinks does. He’s also an editor, with bona fides for editing corporate documents, not-for-profit materials, books, and magazines. He’s especially good at noticing extra spaces between words.
If you’re desperate for information about him, check out his cv. Otherwise, best to stick with things you read on this website and things his friends say about him. Or, you might check out his profile on muck rack, or maybe imbibe especially nice reviews of his work, like this one. He lives in New York, spends a lot of time in Minnesota and Oklahoma, loves Lexington, Virginia, after living there for about 15 years, and dreams of expatriating to Italy. You can probably find him in one of those places.
He’s a pleasant enough fella, so if you have any questions, feel free to give him shout.
