Eli Cranor played quarterback at every level: peewee to professional, and then coached high school football for five years. These days, he's traded in the pigskin for a laptop, writing from Arkansas where he lives with his wife and daughter. In 2019, Eli teamed up with the Oxford American to write "Hash Marks," a series of football-themed essays. He was awarded the Robert Watson Literary Prize by Greensboro Review and honored by The Missouri Review for their 2018 Miller Audio Prize. Eli's advice column "Athletic Support" appears weekly across many platforms. Eli teaches English at an alternative-learning school and is currently working on novels of all shapes and sizes.
