Meet the Manager
Noah C.
Manager
Noah grew up in a family of readers, and quickly developed his father’s unfortunate habit of purchasing and keeping many more books than he could possibly consume in a lifetime. Born in Toronto, he moved to Chicago in 2000, and has been here ever since. A fiction writer as well as book critic, Noah’s work has appeared in The A.V. Club, Paste Magazine, and TimeOut Chicago. He’s currently the Board President of the Chicago Writers Conference, a local non-profit that works to help writers on the path to publication. Noah received his MA and BA from the University of Chicago, focusing on Creative Writing and Philosophy.
