About Tom McCauley

I am a Pushcart Prize-nominated writer, comedian and musician whose work has appeared in Willow Springs, Superstition Review, Leveler and What Rough Beast. My poem “People Are Not Lights” won the 2018 Joseph Langland Prize from the Academy of American Poets. In 2012, I scored Constance Congdon’s play “Tales of the Lost Formicans” for the Great Plains Theatre Conference, and in 2018, I was a writer-in-residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center of Nebraska City. I have an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Currently, I work for the nonprofit AIM Institute as a grant writer, editor, copywriter, and content specialist. Previously, I was grants manager for the Nebraska Arts Council; taught creative writing and contemporary literature at UMass Amherst and the University of Nebraska at Omaha; was copywriter and manager of content marketing for a digital advertising agency; and wrote grants, proclamations, and speeches for City of Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle.

I am available for freelance writing, editing, proofreading, grant consulting, music production, and voiceover work.
