Welcome to Steven Lewis, Writer.
Hey there … first a few words about me and the writing life I’ve led over the past nearly 60 years: I am a former Mentor at SUNY-Empire State College and the Sarah Lawrence College Writing Institute faculty as well as a longtime freelance writer and editor. My work has been published widely, from the notable to the beyond obscure, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, LA Times, Ploughshares, Narratively, Spirituality & Health, Road Apple Review, The Rosicrucian Digest, and a biblically long list of parenting publications (7 kids, 17 grandkids). I am also Senior Editor/Literary Ombudsman for the spoken word venue WritersRead.org, and el Jefe of the Hatteras Island Writers' Retreats at Duckdog Cottage, Rodanthe, North Carolina.
My book list includes, among others, Zen and the Art of Fatherhood, Fear and Loathing of Boca Raton, a chapbook of poems, If I Die Before You Wake, and four recent novels, Take This, a generational sequel, Loving Violet, A Hard Rain, The Lights Around the Shore, all from Codhill Press. A poetry collection, Fire in Paradise, co-authored with my brilliantly talented daughter Elizabeth Bayou-Funk, was published in 2022—and Peering Into Infinity Mirrors of Love & Grief came out in December 2025 That’s it. Roam around. Make yourself at home.
