Lowell Mick
White
Austin, Texas
I’m an experienced editor and teacher who has worked with writers of wide-ranging backgrounds and skills, and I can help you develop your personal voice and write the narratives—the books, the stories—that only you can write. I can help you get your book ready for publishing, teach a short weekend workshop, or provide individual consulting. I'd also be happy to appear at your group or your school to give a reading or a craft talk—or just to hang out and tell stories about books and writing. Contact me for details and we'll get to work.

That Demon Life
Gival Press
Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award --- Linda Smallwood is a sometimes difficult, sometimes depressed criminal defense lawyer. Over the course of a grueling week, Linda encounters a parade of thugs, slackers, and eccentrics-hookers, lawyers, bartenders, cab drivers, and political fixers of various stripes, a world with echoes of A Confederacy of Dunces. She loses her job, falls back into a relationship with her now-married ex-fiancé, and convinces her best friend to seduce and blackmail the man she holds responsible for her misfortunes. Linda's absurd and dislocated life reflects the rhythms of the city and culture she lives in, yet when she finally confronts her enemy who she then attempts to rescue, she discovers that the joys of love and revenge are not all they're alleged to be.

Long Time Ago Good
Slough Press
This story collection—a finalist for the annual first fiction award presented by the Texas Institute of Letters—explores Austin, Texas, a city famous for music, football, and drunken fun frolics—and famous too for traffic jams, anomie, and dislocation. In Long Time Ago Good, Lowell Mick White imaginatively recreates this city, this region. Here is a folksy reporter covering a chitlins cook-off, a ragged cab driver fighting for his life, a lonely jewelry-maker focusing too much on the past—a high tech worker losing her job, a bureaucrat looking for something more. These stories are populated by depressed men, angry women, frustrated dogs, and fearful cats—filled with heat waves and heartbreaks, thunderstorms and belly-laughs: with all that is modern Texas—and America…
