About 

Joshua Call graduated from Texas Tech University in 2019 and immediately set out to escape the 9-5, experience the world, and experiment on being alive. 

His first stop was Jeju Island where he washed the West Texas dirt out of his mouth with soju and saltwater. He taught English at a hagwon and enjoyed the beautiful volcanic island and copious Korean culture that lives there. 

His love for old westerns led him to Lake Yellowstone where he saw buffalo roaming and fell in love before unpacking his bags. He swam in the waters, explored the mountains, and tended bar at the employee pub. 

After ski bumming in Copper Mountain, Colorado, he moved to Fox Island, Alaska where he saw glaciers and whales and spent every night sleeping in a tent setup Thoreau would have nodded his head at. During the same summer, he moved to Healy, Alaska, and tended bar at 49th State Brewery until the fireweed burned out and the cold came. 

After Alaska, he began teaching high school English in Texas and later in Pennsylvania. He enjoyed helping students find their voices, which led to the realization he should spend more time finding his own.

Joshua now lives in Washington state with his lovely, financially secure wife and is attempting to traditionally publish his second manuscript while writing his third. His writing draws from the places he’s been and the people he’s lived with. It reflects a belief that the best stories rarely come from standing still and that a good sense of humor is just as important as a good sense of direction.
