Author of All the Secrets of the World, Candyfreak, Truth Is the Arrow & more. Word geek. That guy.
Hello. I have no idea why you’re here, but I’m glad you made it. It’s been a rough few years. Fortunately, I’ve got some awesome online classes coming up and a couple of week-long intensive workshops that are going to be EPIC. You can check out the whole slate here.
I’ve also got a new audio course out called “How to Hook the Reader From Word One” that is both punishingly detailed and extremely budget-conscious.
In the meantime, if you want me to critique a manuscript, teach a workshop, or talk to your writer’s group, I’m all yours. Just ping me.
The movie based on my first novel, “Which Brings Me to You,” (co-written with the amazing Julianna Baggott) came out last year, and is now streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime. It’s pretty boss.
I’ve gotten lots of questions about my DIY books. They are not available via Amazon or any other retailer.
But I am willing to send them direct to readers, in bulk. If you want copies of “This Won’t Take But a Minute Honey,” “Letters from People Who Hate Me,” or “Bad Poetry,” click here and tell me all about it.
And for those of you who can’t get enough of trolling Fox News, there’s always this golden oldie.
My 2007 novel, “Which Brings Me to You,” co-written with Julianna Baggott, is now a (sexy! funny!) major motion picture starring Lucy Hale & Nat Wolff.
A new edition of book in paperback is out, too.
Steve Almond is the author of twelve books of fiction and nonfiction, including the New York Times bestsellers Candyfreak and Against Football. You can check those out here.
His recent books include the novel All the Secrets of the World, which has been optioned for television by 20th Century Fox, and William Stoner and the Battle for the Inner Life.
For four years, Steve hosted the New York Times Dear Sugars podcast with his pal Cheryl Strayed. He is the recipient of a 2022 NEA grant in fiction, and his short stories have been anthologized in the Best American Short Stories, The Pushcart Prize, Best American Erotica, and Best American Mysteries series. He also publishes crazy, DIY books.
