Profile of Kenneth Schneyer

After a strange career that has included working as an actor, a corporate lawyer, an IT project manager, a professor, a dishwasher, and the assistant dean of a technology school, Kenneth Schneyer started (or re-started) writing original fiction in 2007.

He is a 2009 graduate of the Clarion Writers Workshop, an active member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, and a member of the Cambridge Science Fiction Workshop.

He lives in Rhode Island with his wife, the ritual artist Janice Okoomian, their two children, and something striped and fanged that he sometimes glimpses out of the corner of his eye.
