JD Clapp is a writer and social scientist based in San Diego, CA. His creative writing draws on decades of experience as a keen observer of human behavior, his work as a field alcohologist (someone who studies drinking behavior in natural environments), and an avid outdoorsman and angler. Often set in the contexts he knows best—bars, academia, rural America, and far-flung hunting and fishing locations—his stories examine themes of love, family, loss, hope, and perseverance. He currently writes short-form fiction and creative nonfiction.
JD’s creative work has appeared in 101Words, Micro Fiction Mondays Magazine, Free Flash Fiction, Wrong Turn Literary, Scribes MICRO, Café Lit, and Sporting Classics Magazine among several others. His story, One Last Drop, was a finalist in the 2023 Hemingway Shorts Literary Journal, Short Story Competition. He can be reached at jdclappwrites@gmail.com
