His favorite writing moments include hovering in a blimp above a NFL game in Washington, D.C. and watching, with journalism students at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, while Usain Bolt ran faster than any human being had ever run before.
Greg Bowers has been a reporter and editor in York, PA and taught at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO.
He’s done lectures and readings and his work (poetry, fiction and nonfiction) has been published in numerous places, from literary magazines to Journalism industry sites.
But back to the beginning: Greg Bowers was born in Hanover. He graduated from Catawba College in Salisbury, NC and Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA.
He worked as a reporter/editor for the York Dispatch and taught at York College of Pennsylvania, then became a professor at the University of Missouri’s Journalism School where, to be honest, he learned more than he taught.
He now lives north of York, where he judges writing contests (United States Basketball Writers, Society of American Travel Writers and City and Regional Magazines Association) and writes creative nonfiction and memoirs.
