Jefferey Spivey

The Birthright of Sons (story collection) Urbandale, IA

My current project is The Birthright of Sons, a collection of stories centered around the experience of marginalized people, namely Black and LGBTQ+ men. The stories are linked by an exploration of identity and the ways personhood is shaped through interactions with the people, places, and belief systems around us.

Jefferey Spivey is a Des Moines, Iowa-based freelance writer and editor. His short stories have appeared (or will soon appear) in Flying Island, decomp, and Las Positas College’s Havik anthology. Additionally, his humor fiction has appeared in Slackjaw, and his nonfiction work has been published in DADDY and Parks and Rec Business magazines.
