Andrew Porter

Andrew Porter was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1972. He was the youngest of three siblings, and is a critically acclaimed author.  I was lucky enough to have this conversation with him one afternoon over the telephone.
Paige Poe- "So, tell me about your education."
Andrew Porter- "I got my B.A. in English from Vassar College and my M.F.A in fiction writing from the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop."
PP- "Wow. What have you published so far?'
AP- "I published my first book of short stories, The Theory Of Light And Matter, in 2007. It was pretty exciting!"
PP- "I bet. I've heard you have won lots of awards for it, which ones were the most significant to you?"
AP- "My book won the 2007 Flannery O'Conner Award for Short Fiction. Also, several newspapers named it the best short story book of the year. Recently it was republished by Vintage/Knopf. All of those things meant a lot to me, especially since this was my debut book."
PP-"So what are you doing now?"
AP-"I am currently in San Antonio; I work at Trinity University as the Assistant Professor of Creative Writing. In fact, I am almost late for my class so, I'd better run. Thanks!"
PP- "I wouldn't want you to be late! Thank you!"
