Short Bio:

I'm a Fiction MFA candidate at Columbia College Chicago. I enjoy playing rugby and taking pictures with my phone in my spare time. I have told stories with 2nd Story and You're Being Ridiculous, and I will be published soon in Beards: The Zine. I'm finally starting to submit my work places, so hopefully that will yield some positive results.

About Parker Stockman's Reading & Writing

I tend to write realistic fiction or magical realism. I also love writing memoir and personal essays. I am influenced by Karen Russell, Adam Levin, Thomas Pynchon, John Green, David Leviathan, and Thomas Hardy (that's the kind of strange one on my list, but I love him).
