Jeff VanderMeer

'Jeffrey Scott VanderMeer' (born July 7, 1968) is an American writer, although he has pursued careers in editing and publishing. He was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, but spent much of his childhood in the Fiji Islands, where his parents worked for the Peace Corps. This experience, and the resulting trip back to the United States through Asia, Africa, and Europe, deeply influenced him. He currently resides in Tallahassee, Florida. In 2003, Jeff married Ann Kennedy, editor for the small Buzzcity Press and the magazine the ''Silver Web''. VanderMeer was founding editor and publisher of the 'Ministry of Whimsy Press', which went on hiatus in 2005. [1]
VanderMeer was an instructor at Clarion 2007 in San Diego.
