Brandon Getz

After graduating from the EWU MFA program in 2010, Brandon Getz lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Philadelphia, PA, before settling back in his home city of Pittsburgh. His first published piece, “Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before,” appeared in Versal #9 and was a joke story originally written for the EWU graduate-student reading series at the (now sadly defunct) Empyrean Café. His fiction and poetry have also been featured in Burrow Press Review, The Delmarva Review, Burningword, and other journals. His story “Robot on a Park Bench,” set in Spokane’s Riverfront Park, was nominated for the Pushcart Prize in 2014 and adapted into a radio drama by Delmarva Radio Theatre in June 2015. Determined to finish a novel draft without rewriting the first chapter every two months, he began a serialized space adventure in mid-2015 called Lars Breaxface, Werewolf in Space, available online at JukePop Serials.

For money, Brandon has been a barista, an indie film actor, and a blogger for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the Quantum Theatre Company. He now works as a freelance editor for Dorrance Publishing and is finishing a collection of short stories. He is still trying to figure out how rocket ships, schlock horror movies, Philip Marlowe, and quiet epiphanic fiction can be Frankensteined into one savage beast. Find more at www.brandongetz.com
