Biographie de David R. Yale
Known for heartwarming portrayals of ordinary people, David R. Yale has been influenced by Charles Dickens, John Steinbeck, Marge Piercy, Jo Sinclair, and Barbara Kingsolver. Living and working in blue collar communities in Brooklyn, Minneapolis, and rural Arkansas, as well as a socialist utopian community in New York, have also shaped his narrative.
David's fiction and poetry has been published in Midstream, Response, Newtown Literary, Blue Collar Review, and Pangolin Review.
His first novel in the Shingle Creek Sagas, Becoming JiJi, won First Place in the 2018 Writer's Digest Self-Published eBook Awards Contemporary Fiction category, and was a quarter-finalist in the 2019 ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Competition.
His second Shingle Creek Sagas novel, No Free Soup for Millionaires, was a finalist in the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society 2018 Novel-in-Progress contest.
With a blue-collar, working class outlook, Yale writes about one of the most overlooked communities in the contemporary fiction scene.
