about this author
Bender writes fiction that explores modern-day fears with a literary style that is fresh, smart and accessible. While his work invents cities, nations and history, Bender grounds his storytelling with realistic characters and a crisp writing style that follows the old journalism maxim, “Show, don’t tell.” He is interested in traditional and new media, and hopes to establish a career writing novels that push the limits of genre fiction.
In his day job as a journalist in Washington, D.C., Adam Bender writes about federal law on telecommunications and the Internet. He is the lead Capitol Hill reporter for trade pub Communications Daily, and has covered congressional sessions on government surveillance and other technology-fueled breaches of privacy. He also has reported extensively on federal courts and the Federal Communications Commission.
Bender graduated from American University in May 2007 with a Bachelor’s degree in print journalism. He was entertainment editor for AU newspaper The Eagle from 2005-2007, and studied abroad in London in 2006.
