JD Scott

JD Scott is a Brooklyn, New York and Tampa, Florida based poet and writer. They are the winner of the 2018 Madeleine P. Plonsker Emerging Writers Residency Prize,[1] which produced the story collection Moonflower, Nightshade, All the Hours of the Day.[2] The collection has been positively covered by multiple literary periodicals including Tor.com,[3] The Rumpus,[4] Electric Literature,[5] and Lambda Literary.[6] They are also the author of two poetry chapbooks, Night Errands (winner of the 2012 Peter Meinke Prize for Poetry)[7] and FUNERALS & THRONES, published with Birds of Lace. Their debut full length poetry collection, Mask for Mask, was released from New Rivers Press in 2021 [8] and was described by Publishers Weekly as a "startling", "memorable and energetic debut."[9] Their writing has been anthologized in BAX 2015: Best American Experimental Writing[10] and Best New Poets 2017.[11] Scott's writing has been described as full of "something ominous, wolf-like lurking"[12] and "unsurpassable in its #sorrynotsorry earnestness".[13]

Scott was a Lambda Literary Fellow and edited the Emerge: 2018 Lambda Fellows Anthology.[14] They were the editor of Moonshot,[15] a literary magazine, and are the current editor of AADOREE.[16] Scott has been committed to building literary community in multiple locations, founding the reading series Sacred Grove in Tuscaloosa,[17] AL and Moveable Beasts: A Reading Series That Roams in Tampa, FL.[18]
