Stephen Cavitt is always chasing the next great story.

He has lived in a tipi, studied with shamans, touched wild bears, walked on fire, and climbed New Mexico’s highest mountain in skinny jeans.

The lead sniper for a SWAT team taught him to shoot. Tom Brown Jr. taught him to track. His mother taught him to sing.

Work

Stephen teaches English, creative writing, and humanities at Florida Gulf Coast University. He holds an MFA from Georgia College and has taught for Duke University, the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga State, and the University of Georgia.

His student evaluations have included such gems as “Cavitt has chill dad energy” and “There aren’t enough vegetarian options in the cafeteria.” You can’t win them all.

Writing

Stephen publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and journalism. He is the author of the Und Wars series in science fiction, which spans 800+ years and begins with The Distance Between Stars, as well as the poetry collection Noctis Terrores.
