Sherrill was born and raised in North Carolina.
He received a Welding Diploma from Mitchell
Community College before pursuing a career in
writing. He applied to both the fiction and poetry
schools within the prestigious Iowa Writer's
Workshop. He earned his M.F.A. in poetry and applied
his poetry to his prose in two outstanding novels
that demonstrate a disciplined skill for
storytelling.
Sherrill was the recipient of a
National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship in Fiction
for 2002 and published his first novel,
The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break, soon
thereafter. It has since then been translated
into eight languages.
His second novel,
Visits From The Drowned Girl, was
published by Random House in June 2004. Steven also
writes for the
Kenyon Review,
River Styx,
and
Georgia Review, among many others. He
lives in Pennsylvania where he is an Assistant
Professor of English and Integrative Arts at Penn
State Altoona.
