Conor is a writer from Seattle.
A New York Times bestselling collaborator, he’s co-written over 20 books with many high-profile figures, including Hall of Fame athletes, Fortune 500 CEO’s, investigative journalists, and criminal justice leaders.
His journalism—from labor news to sports analysis to cultural commentary—has been featured in The Seattle Times, Seattle Met, The Stranger, More Perfect Union, and elsewhere, in Conor’s trademark humorous, approachable style.
The Catcher’s Handbook (McFarland & Co.), his instructional book drawing on his decade behind the dish, has been endorsed by many MLB coaches and teaches young players the most difficult position in sports.
A graduate of the New York University MFA program, Conor’s short fiction and nonfiction has been featured in Bellevue Literary Review, Word Riot, and Hippocampus Magazine. His story "And It Is No Joke" was named Honorable Mention for the Bellevue Literary Review Goldenberg Prize for Fiction, and Glimmer Train shortlisted it for their Short Story Award for New Writers.
Conor has won grants and awards from 4Culture, Hugo House, SLICE magazine, and New York University, and been shortlisted for the Elizabeth George Foundation Grant. Sporadically he has also taught writing at New York University, the University of Washington, and for the City of Seattle.
