Bio: 

While most kids wanted to be an astronaut or a firefighter when they grew up, Nathan wanted to be a writer. Ever since a young age, he has been captivated by stories and how they shape us. This passion for storytelling led him to receive a B.F.A. from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and an M.A. in English at the University of North Carolina Charlotte.​

Since his published debut in 2019, his fiction, poetry, and essays have been featured on numerous websites and magazines. He is also the founder and editor of New Note Poetry, an online poetry magazine. He lives in Charlotte, NC, with his wife, daughter, and two cats.
