Craig Quackenbush is a New York-based novelist, writer, and editor. Ache, Craig’s debut novel, will be released upon an unsuspecting public in autumn, 2008.
Craig edited the 300-page short story anthology Falling From the Sky (Another Sky Press). The book, which features over thirty writers, was released in May of 2007.
As a freelance writer he has contributed a multitude of features, interviews, and theater reviews to a number of publications including Show Business Weekly, Talent in Motion, and Lucid, Connecticut; and was a contributing writer for Los Angeles-based Specialty Publications’ multi-titled national magazines.
Craig holds a degree in Broadcast Journalism and studied film at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. He has written and directed a couple of short films, dabbled in acting, and has written several screenplays. His latest screenplay, Small World, recounts his time living and working at a residential hotel in San Francisco’s seedy Tenderloin district.
Astoria, Queens is home. Craig is a night owl by nature.
He is also an idealist, and an optimistic pessimist, which
is reflected in his work. According to Craig he “revels in
the truth of emotion when I craft literary fiction and mold
it into stories that relate personal thoughts and
experiences on a gut level.” Believing that “life is too
short not to notice”, it is his aim as a writer to document
the world through his occasionally bent, but always honest
voice.
