Lev AC Rosen

LEV AC ROSEN is the author of the critically acclaimed All Men of Genius, which was an Amazon Best of the month, on over a dozen best of the year lists, and has been nominated for multiple awards. Publishers Weekly says it puts a steampunk spin on the Victorian comedy of manners while sneakily critiquing the gender biases of both genres. The Onions A.V. Club declares that it slyly examines the psychology and the aesthetics behind the act of human invention, and Locus Magazine says it mixes genres with fearless panache.

At 22, Levs short story Painting was the inaugural piece for the New Voices section of the renowned Esopus magazine. He has written articles on steampunk, postmodernism, and writing for numerous blogs, including booklifenow and tor.com, and been interviewed on writing by several magazines and blogs including Clarkesworld and USA Today.

Lev has studied with David Young, David Walker, David Hollander, and many people not named David, including Mary LaChapelle, Ernesto Mestre-Reed, Paul Lisicky, Whitney Otto, Arnost Lustig, Brian Morton, Joan Silber, and Dan Chaon. He received his BA from Oberlin College and his MFA in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College.

Lev is originally from lower Manhattan and now lives in even lower Manhattan, right at the edge. He teaches creative writing, and is hard at work on something new, he promises.
