D. Harlan Wilson (born September 3, 1971) is an American novelist, short-story writer, critic, biographer, editor, playwright and English professor whose body of work bridges the aesthetics of literary theory with various genres of speculative fiction. He is the author of over twenty books, and hundreds of his stories, essays and flash fiction have appeared in magazines, journals and anthologies in multiple languages.
Wilson was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he grew up and went to high school. He attended Wittenberg University on a partial basketball scholarship that summarily lapsed; he joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity his sophomore year and never played basketball again. He majored in English and graduated in 1993 with a B.A. in Liberal Studies. After college, Wilson worked as an international businessman, model and actor before returning to graduate school in 1995 at the University of Massachusetts-Boston to further his studies in English. He graduated with a M.A. in English in 1997. He moved to England and completed a M.A. in Science Fiction Studies at the University of Liverpool in 1998, then returned to Grand Rapids and taught high school during the 1998-99 school year, which saw the first appearances of his short fiction in publication. In 1999, he moved to East Lansing, Michigan, to pursue a Ph.D. in English at Michigan State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2005. Currently Wilson is Professor of English and Director of Humanities and Social Sciences at Wright State University-Lake Campus.
