Gerry Coleman
BROOKLYN WRITERS PRESS Award-winning author Gerry Coleman combines four decades of teaching excellence with a storyteller's soul.
​
His short fiction has earned critical acclaim in publications including The Pavan, The Saratoga Scene Magazine, and Literally Stories, with his story "Blood Lovers" winning Best Story at the "Writers In Paradise" Conference.
​
A former professor of Writing and Literature with doctoral work from Columbia University, Gerry now mentors writers through WordSmittenWorkShop and The Authors Guild's Tampa Bay Chapter. Born and raised in working-class Brooklyn, he brings authentic voice and scholarly insight to every story he tells.
His stories don't just entertain—they linger long after the last page is turned.
“Set on the streets of an unforgettable and timeless Brooklyn, each and every page of this remarkable story collection rings with an authority that can only come from having lived life fully, both as a participant and as a witness. Written in deeply compelling prose that is as lyrical as it is street-wise, the voice here is suffused with humor, compassion, erudition, and an unapologetic love for its wonderful cast of characters. Gerry Coleman is the real deal, and Ninety-Second Street: Brooklyn Stories is a gem.”
