Josiah Bancroft is a respected author, well-known for his fantasy novels. However, before he became an author, he had a variety of other pursuits. Bancroft was a college instructor, a poet, and an aspiring comic book artist. In fact, he even received a rejection letter from Marvel Comics in 1999.
He was a poet, college instructor, and aspiring comic book artist before he began writing fantasy novels. When he is not writing, Bancroft enjoys spending his time in a variety of ways. He hosts the Crit Faced podcast with his author friends, draws the world of the Tower, and experiments with cooking dinner without a recipe. He currently resides in Philadelphia with his wife, Sharon, their daughter Maddie, and their two rabbits, Mabel and Chaplin.
Bancroft began writing novels when he was just twelve years old. By the time he completed his first novel, he was hooked on the craft. Eventually, he began writing "Senlin Ascends," a fantasy adventure that drew inspiration from the stories that had first sparked his love of writing. Bancroft's goal with this novel was to transport readers to a new and exciting world, just as his favorite writers had done for him.
While Bancroft's work is widely available and beloved by many, he remains a humble and dedicated writer. He continues to reside in Philadelphia with his family and rabbits, and updates on his work can be found on his website.
