ⓘ About Graham Salisbury

He graduated from California State University, Northridge, and got his MFA degree from Vermont College of Norwich University. He was a member of the founding faculty of Vermont College’s incredibly successful MFA program in Writing for Children, now the Union Institute & University. Graham decided to become a writer, rather than reporter because he enjoys writing about characters that might have been. For him, exploring fictional themes, lives, and situations is an experience that is quietly exhilarating. Some completely unexpected happenings will take place while his finger tips are walking the keyboard, things that make him laugh or get very choked up or even amaze him.
