Sam W. Pisciotta

Sam W. Pisciotta is an intrepid storyteller hurtling through spacetime on the power of morning coffee and late-night tea. He writes stories for people who want to visit other planets, learn magic from birds, or camp in haunted forests. His M.A. in Literary Studies from the University of Colorado trained him to deconstruct a variety of texts; living life taught him how to put them back together. He loves holidays and birthdays, pints at the bar, and falling down the research rabbit hole. He is a graduate of Odyssey (’23) and Aspen Words (’22, ‘24). He is a recipient of Odyssey’s Quantum Entanglement and Diverse Perspectives scholarships. Find his stories in Asimov’s, Analog, F&SF, PodCastle, Nightmare Magazine, and other fine publications.
