By day, I’m a Software Engineer for SpanishDict.com.

I divide the rest of my time between working on web development projects (and asking/answering questions on Stackoverflow), writing (mostly fiction), and other projects such as volunteering with 826DC and co-curating Call + Response.

The official writerly bio:

William John Bert’s work has appeared in Anomalous Press, Colorado Review, pacificREVIEW, and Sonora Review.  He lives in Washington, DC, where he was awarded a 2011 DC Young Artist Grant and his story “Treatment” placed second in the city’s annual Larry Neal Competition. He volunteers with 826DC, a youth writing center, and he co-curates the Call + Response art series at Hamiltonian Gallery. In 2007 he earned an MFA in Fiction from the University of Arizona’s Creative Writing Program.
