Summary

  • Jeff Schnader is an author of historical fiction. His Vietnam War era novel, The Serpent Papers, was published by the traditional publishing house, The Permanent Press, in March, 2022. It has been reviewed in major newspapers & magazines and on radio. He was at Columbia University in 1972 where he participated in sit-ins, marches and demonstrations against the Vietnam War, including a protest-turned-riot in front of Hamilton Hall where students were beaten by the New York Tactical Police in full battle regalia.

His short story, The Champion, won first prize in the 2020 Annual Quills Contest (LUW) and was published in the October, 2022, issue of the Arlington Literary Journal (ArLiJo). His essays have been published in Audere Literary Magazine, Bookscover2cover, and The Write Launch.
