JW Schnarr is the evil mastermind behind Northern Frights Publishing.. He currently resides in Champion, Alberta Canada with his daughter and a grumpy turtle. When not writing, editing or publishing, he can be found scheming. And watching sports. He attended the Souther Alberta Institute of Technology to study journalism at the start of the new millennium and spent years slogging away as a freelance writer before breaking into the small press markets in 2004.
The first story he ever sold was to Chicken Soup for the Single Parents Soul and it paid him $300 dollars. The second story he sold was Magpie, and it paid $10 and a contributor copy. The story later sold to Nancy Jackson's GOREMET CUISINE for another contributor copy, and it's appearance in Things Falling Apart will mark its third time seeing print.
JW Schnarr is also a big fan of photography and photo manipulation, and is responsible for all of Northern Frights Publishing's advertising and imagery. His goal is to one day do his own book covers...though that day may yet be a long way off. JW is a big fan of body art and has several tattoos on his arms. His considers himself a work in progress.
