Wallace McLendon
Born and raised in Oakboro, North Carolina (population 612), Wallace McLendon earned his BA in English and his master’s in library science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “Small towns, surrounded by small farms, punctuated by monthly bookmobile stops create a canvas begging for stories,” McLendon says. The influence of doctor-and-nurse parents drew him to academic medical libraries (for example, University of Pennsylvania, UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Florida). His love of the writing process led him to the North Carolina Writers’ Network. McLendon’s short fiction appears in the Blue Mountain Review and Wigleaf.

Hey, Wallace
It’s been a long time. Life caught up to me but I have time to dedicate to writing again. Do you still have a writing group? Or do you know of a good group?
I hope you’re doing well. I would love to buy you a coffee some time.
Be safe out there.
