Lawrence Dagstine is a 51-year-old NYC writer. He studied journalism, creative writing, and the science of publishing in the 90s, and is workshop-certified in proofreading. His work is available on Amazon, Nook, Apple, Kobo, and in a variety of media formats. He is best known for finding homes for hundreds of short stories in small presses—publication in a plethora of science fiction, fantasy, and horror magazines during the 2000s era (what he affectionately labels the Millennial Pulps, before digital reading became the norm). He’s been in pro markets. Semi-pro markets. Small press markets. Micro press markets. Trade magazines. Webzines. Literary journals. Hobby markets. Anthologies galore. He is known for such books as The Nightmare Cycle, Death of the Common Writer, chapbooks and novellas such as The Paraplegic and A Child Weeps in Moscow. He has placed somewhere in the ballpark of 600 short stories in online and print publications. He has been published by houses such as Damnation Books, Steampunk Tales, Wicked Shadow Press, Black Beacon Books, Farthest Star Publishing, Calliope Interactive, Timber Ghost Press, and Altitude Press. He teaches short story writing and freelance writing part of the year. He even draws graffiti art, pop art, and comic art—his styles of choice—when he has free time (you can view some of his artwork on this website too).
