Mike McClelland

Like Sharon Stone and the zipper, Dr. Mike McClelland is originally from Meadville, Pennsylvania. He has lived on five different continents but now resides in the startling American Midwest with his husband, two sons, and a menagerie of ancient rescue hounds. He's the author of the short story collection Gay Zoo Day and his creative work has appeared in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Electric Literature, Boston Review, Vox, Observer, Wired, Fairy Tale Review, and elsewhere. He teaches creative writing at Eastern Illinois University, serves as the fiction editor for Bluestem, and you can find him online at magicmikewrites.com.
