About this author

John McNally is the author of two novels (America's Report Card and The Book of Ralph) and two story collections (Ghosts of Chicago and Troublemakers). He's edited six fiction anthologies, on subjects ranging from superheroes to baseball. He also writes screenplays and held a Chesterfield Writer's Film Project fellowship, sponsored by Paramount Pictures. A native of Chicago's southwest side, he presently lives and teaches in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

John's latest novel, After the Workshop, will be published by Counterpoint in early 2010.


Quick note to let everyone know that today is the official release date for my new novel, AFTER THE WORKSHOP. It should be at your local bookseller by now....I hope. It's mentioned in the March issue of Vanity Fair!

You can find information about the book on my website under BUZZ. Also, information about my BOOK TOUR is up as well.

Thanks!
