Lancelot Schaubert  

Novelist of "Bell Hammers," Editor, Performer, Artist Chaplain

Two excerpts of Lancelot Schaubert’s debut novel "Bell Hammers" sold to The New Haven Review (Yale’s Institute Library) and The Misty Review, while a third excerpt was selected as a finalist for the Glimmer Train Fiction Open. He has sold poetry, fiction, and essays to TOR (MacMillan), The Anglican Theological Review, McSweeney’s, Poker Pro’s World Series Edition, The Poet’s Market, Writer’s Digest, Space and Time, and many similar markets. Spark + Echo chose him for their 2019 artist in residency, commissioning him to write four short stories in addition to seven they’d already purchased. He has published work in anthologies like Author in Progress, Harry Potter for Nerds, and Of Gods and Globes — the last of which he edits, and has featured stories by Juliet Marillier (nominated for an Aurealis award), Howard Andrew Jones, Kaaron Warren, Anne Greenwood Brown, Dr. Anthony Cirilla, LJ Cohen, FC Shultz, and Emily Munro.

Along with award-winning photographer Mark Neuenschwander, their co-written, co-produced, co-directed work Cold Brewed reinvented the photonovel for the digital age. It won awards at PhotoSpiva, the longest continually running photography competition in the world, and won favorable blurbs and feedback from curators at the Chicago Museum of Photography. Cold Brewed caught the attention of the Missouri Tourism Board, who commissioned them to write and direct a second photonovel, The Joplin Undercurrent. Schaubert has helped produce documentary films, narrative films, and judged festivals like the Brooklyn Film Festival. However, he also takes on big roles like story consultant, screenwriter, producer, and director, for films with Flying Treasure, with WRKR, the above photonovels, and other transmedia projects like Slice of Life. In the audio realm he co-hosts podcasts, audiobooks like Wilderness, panels at places like the World Fantasy Convention, DJ-s for small town radio stations, keynotes at conferences, and full length folk albums — symphonic novellas — like All Who Wander. His performance of these, of theatrical roles, and of public readings of his writings all draw upon his classical training in rhetoric, mythology, theology, and homiletics.
