Brendan S.
Despite spending plenty of time in classrooms (English lit, creative writing, philosophy), Brendan has found that his most interesting creative material has come from his everyday life. Being the youngest in a big family of distinct personalities and political discordance, Brendan was a silent observer for much of his early youth. At age thirteen, while trying to find his own path, he decided to become a writer. Complicated family dynamics, strange childhood memories, and moral ambiguity are just a few of the themes (grist for the mill) that Brendan likes to write about. He is a collector of S.A.D. (Specific Animate Detail), kooky phrases and idioms, and is intrigued by the latter 20 th century (he loves quizzing his grandmother on popular culture in the 60s, 70s, and 80s). Whether he is writing fiction or non-fiction, his principles remain the same. Tell the story as it is, resist sensationalism. And don’t be afraid to write about things that scare you (that’s what writing is for).
