As of today, Lost Telegram Press has signed another author who is new to us but not new to the publishing market: John Biscello. John has a new novel manuscript that will require some different attention, being a layered, somewhat experimental novel. So we agreed that Lost Telegram Press was a fitting avenue for it. This is in part, due to his passion for small presses and independent publishing.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, John is an award-winning novelist, poet, performer, playwright, and screenwriter. He has lived in the high-desert grunge-wonderland of Taos, New Mexico since 2001. He is the author of four novels; Broken Land, a Brooklyn Tale; Raking the Dust; Nocturne Variations; and No Man’s Brooklyn.
He has also authored a collection of stories called Freeze Tag, two poetry collections (Arclight and Moonglow on Mercy Street) and a fable (The Jackdaw and the Doll, illustrated by Izumi Yokoyama). He also adapted classic fables, which were paired with the vintage illustrations of artist, Paul Bransom, for the collection: Once Upon a Time, Classic Fables Reimagined.
His fiction and poetry has appeared in 3:AM magazine, nthposition, the Tishman Review, Paris Lit Up, Kansas City Voices, Yuan Yang, and numerous other publications.
His produced, full-length plays include: LOBSTERS ON ICE, ADAGIO FOR STRAYS, ZEITGEIST, U.S.A., and WEREWOLVES DON’T WALTZ.
The Bride, a chamber film that he wrote and directed, debuted in May of 2024, and was an Official Selection of the Berlin Indie Film Festival and the Tokyo Lift-Off Film Festival.
His novel, No One Dreams in Color, is scheduled for an April 2026 publication through Unsolicited Press.
