Geoffrey
Cameron Fuller recently teamed with
Daleen Berry (Sister of Silence) to write
about the stabbing murder of high school
honors student, Skylar Neese, by her two best
friends. Their work resulted in two books,
The
Savage Murder of Skylar Neese (BenBella
Books; February 2014) and
Pretty Little
Killers: The Truth Behind the Savage Murder
of Skylar Neese (BenBella Books; July,
2014). The crime and the books were featured
on Dateline (NBC), Dr. Phil (NBC), 20/20
(ABC), and I Killed My BFF (Lifetime). The
Savage Murder of Skylar Neese peaked at #12 on
the New York Times bestseller list, and the
second book, released in July, 2014, is
selling well.
Fuller has been writing and editing
professionally for twenty-five years and has
become familiar with just about every form of
contemporary writing. In addition to feature
journalism, he has written award-winning
nonfiction, sudden fiction, short stories, and
novels, as well as a range of business and
technical writing: annual reports, white
papers, vision and values statements,
feasibility studies, market analyses,
conference proceedings, advertising copy,
political speeches, grant applications, and
textbooks. He is the author or co-author of
five books, and his writing is credited in
another dozen books.
In addition to publishing under his own name,
Fuller has also been widely published as a
ghostwriter, read his fiction in a variety of
settings and performed it on the radio, given
dozens of workshops on business writing and
the publishing industry, and taught classes on
the novel, sudden fiction, and memoir since
1997. Fuller was a contributing editor for
Writer’s Digest for several years, sat on the
Board of West Virginia Writers, and is the
only person to have won prestigious WV Arts
and Humanities literary fellowships in all
three prose categories: fiction, nonfiction,
and memoir.
For six years, from 1998-2004, Fuller worked
as a developmental editor for Fitness
Information Technology, a sport psychology and
sport management publisher based in
Morgantown, West Virginia, since 1987. Before
that, he worked for about ten years for the
Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and
Development, Inc., a nonprofit business
resource firm and occasional publisher, also
based in Morgantown.
Currently, Fuller works as a freelance
writer-editor for a variety of private clients
and occasionally hosts writing classes on the
Web or in a variety of locations around the
state. He lives in Morgantown, West Virginia,
and is a member of International Thriller
Writers.
