STEVEN SALVATORE
About Me
Steven Salvatore is a gay chaos agent whose obsessions include Star Wars, Mariah Carey, his loud Italian family, boating in the Adirondacks, exploring Italy, and having and then dissecting his existential crises (not in that order). For twelve years, he was a studied, accomplished composition and creative writing professor having held many positions within higher education spheres; he now works as an academic advisor at Manhattanville University, where he also teaches. He has an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School and he’s a book coach and founder of Queerative Writers, a full-service creative hub for LGBTQ+ aspiring writers. A lifelong New Yorker, he now lives in New Jersey with his amazing fiancé Chris.
Steven's novels include young adult titles AND THEY LIVED…, CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY, NO PERFECT PLACES: A Novel, and the forthcoming WHEN LOVE GIVES YOU LEMONS (out May 13, 2025), as well as the adult romance, THE BOYFRIEND SUBSCRIPTION.
