My name’s Ian M. Rogers and this is my awesome website. As my passion, I write cool, funny literary novels. To pay the bills, I work as an Editor and Writing Coach.
I also lived in Japan for a long time, teaching first on the JET Program, then at Kanagawa University in Yokohama.
(Also, you definitely shouldn’t confuse me with the other Ian Rogers, the Canadian writer of dark fiction and supernatural noir. Don’t forget the M!)
MFA Thesis Novel
If you have ever wondered what would happen if Joseph Heller had gone to a not particularly distinguished MFA program instead of Italy and World War Two…
Annabel Davis-Goff, author of Walled Gardens
Check out MFA Thesis Novel, my awesome satire of grad school and creative writing workshops! You can also support me as an indie author by ordering a signed copy through my webstore and get a FREE limited edition bookmark!
But I Also Have a Day Job
Building a creative career isn’t easy. On But I Also Have a Day Job I blog about balancing my creative work with keeping the bills paid, and interview cool creative people about how they got where they are.
Need an Editor?
As an Editor and Writing Coach I help fiction writers and academics through the pitfalls of the writing process. Whether you need a second eye for your novel or journal article or want to talk ideas over Zoom, I’ll help make your writing the very best it can be.
Read more about my Editing and Writing Coach work here (even though I kind of dislike the term Writing Coach, which sounds too much like a sports thing…).
