Josh Gauthier is a writer and playwright focusing primarily on speculative fiction. He earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast Program where he concentrated on popular fiction.

Josh’s debut novel Land of Outcasts released in 2021. He has had short fiction and nonfiction released in various publications, and his full-length play Of Murder and Madness debuted at Footlights Theatre in Falmouth, ME in 2019.

He was previously involved with the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance, the local theater community, and co-organized two different writing series: Local Writers Read in Lewiston, Maine, which spotlighted Maine writers and their work–and Writers, Readers, and the Stories We Love, which featured a monthly guest to discuss writing craft and storytelling.

Until recently, Josh spent his days working as a librarian. In his free time, he can be found reading, watching movies, gaming, and drinking too much coffee in order to sustain his dual caffeine-writing habit.
