Kevin Catalano was born in Chittenango, NY, a village outside Syracuse that celebrates the birthplace of Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum. This basically means that when he was a child, he met many of the surviving Munchkin actors ―tiny, kind raisin humans who’ve since warped his fantasies.

His debut novel, Where the Sun Shines Out, was published by Skyhorse Publishing in October of 2017. His first book of short stories, Deleted Scenes and Other Bonus Features, was released in  2020 from Stephen F. Austin University Press. Other work  has appeared in places like  PANK, storySouth, Booth, Pear Noir!, Atticus Review, Gargoyle Magazine, FRiGG, Used Furniture Review, Aethlon: a Journal of Sport Literature. His stories have also been anthologized in Press 53’s Surreal South ’13, Fiddleblack Annuals #1 and #2, and in Dark House Press’s Exigencies.  



He earned his B.A. in English from UNC-Greensboro, and his M.A. and MFA in fiction from Rutgers University-Newark. He teaches writing at Rutgers and lives in New Jersey with his wife and two children.

​Kevin is  currently seeking representation.
