Jacob Paul

Poets & Writers counted Jacob Paul’s debut novel, Sarah/Sara, as one of the season’s five best first fictions in their July/August issue. Originally a New Yorker, Paul now lives, writes, cycles, and skis in Salt Lake City, Utah, when he is not teaching literature or creative writing at the University of Utah. Excerpts from his second novel, A Song of Ilan, have won the Utah Writers’ Contest in 2008 and the Richard Scowcroft Prize in 2007.
