Geoff Herbach

Location: Minneapolis/Mankato, Minnesota

Geoff Herbach writes novels, hosts funny and sad radio, collaborates on indie rock musicals that may or may not be produced, and teaches in the creative writing program at Minnesota State University – Mankato. He is the father of two great kids, Leo and Mira. He is partnered to a very tall girl from Iowa named Steph. He loves big cities, but feels most comfortable on dark quiet streets in the rural Midwest. He grew up in Platteville, Wisconsin, where he was both a dork and a jock.

I seriously, really, really, love teaching writing.
