I am Wistar Murray and I aspire to make a living doing stuff like this. I am looking for publishing houses to support me in my dream. I live in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I was born, but I have also lived in Easton, Maryland; Birmingham, England; Cooperstown, New York; Williamsburg, Virginia; Boston, Massachusetts; New York, New York; and Montpelier, France. I lived in all those places so no one would think I was lame for settling down in the town where I was born.
I am almost done with my first novel, which is fantastic. Not the novel so much as the almost being done. I have an MFA in fiction from Columbia University, where my thesis of short stories was entitled “A Measure of Shipwrecks,” and I am passionate about the field of Narrative Medicine.
I have a Facebook and a MySpace and a Flickr and a Twitter and now a blog. My cyber footprint is getting bigger and bigger. I am going for total transparency. You can hire me for parties.
