About this author

edit data

Colin Dodds grew up in Massachusetts and completed his education at The New School in New York City. He is the author of Another Broken Wizard, which came out to widespread acclaim in 2011. Norman Mailer wrote that Dodds’ novel The Last Bad Job showed “something that very few writers have; a species of inner talent that owes very little to other people.” His screenplay Refreshment – A Tragedy was named a semi-finalist in 2010 American Zoetrope Contest. Dodds’ writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal Online, Folio, Explosion-Proof, Block Magazine, The Architect’s Newspaper, The Main Street Rag, The Reno News & Review and Lungfull!
