William McCanless

William McCanless has been a full-time writer for six years after he dropped out of school due to reading way too much Beat literature. Since then, he has written for a ridiculous myriad of publications and individuals on a plethora of subjects -- the sheer amount and diversity of which has earned him the much appreciated title of "High Class Literary Prostitute." When William isn't staving off the constant threat of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, he can be found training MMA at the gym or talking to his dogs like they're actual people.
