Joseph Apau
Hey, it’s me!
Joseph Apau by name, writer by occupation (kind of, we’re working on it).
I grew up in the islands of Hawai’i and later on the East Coast. As an adult living the creative professional dream in the United States, I’ve lived in some of the big cities—NYC, Los Angeles, Seattle—and currently find myself in Austin, TX. I like being around other creative people, so I guess I’ll keep ending up wherever I find them.
Career-wise, I’ve always been a writer/editor of some sort, while having a motley mix of tech skills. All the freelance and contract jobs over the years have led to a weird and eclectic work history. Some of it was pretty cool, though, and I got to work with awesome people along the way. (Shout out to any former coworkers that find me: Thanks for the good times!)
Still here? Hm.
I also like stories, games, and long walks with a coffee cup in hand. That should do it.
Now, go live your life. Smell a flower. Take a nap. Read a book.
Special thanks to Ben and Micah for listening to me talk about writing stuff for years at this point, Lauren for setting the stage for long-form writing, and lots of other folks who’ve supported me along the way.
