ELIJAH JENKINS
Elijah Jenkins is the Executive Director and founder of Flatmancrooked. At California State University Bakersfield, he majored in, of all 
lucrative fields, Religious Studies. Suffice it to say, he neither became a pastor nor a professor. Instead he has worked as a debt collector, teacher, case manager at various non-profit organizations, social worker to sex offenders, promoter of independent bands, and graphic designer to the stars.
He also writes. His work has appeared in McSweeney’s Internet Concern, NOO Journal, Underground Voices and Flatmancrooked’s Anthology, all under a pseudonym. He does not approve of blogs, and was alarmed to hear that the New York Times has several (accordingly, you can’t read his blog here). He frowns upon MFA programs, though secretly wishes he’d studied in one. You may harass him here. He also climbs V3/5.10d routes/problems, enjoys and advocates the regular use of tobacco products, is an unapologetic fan of Kafka, and is an avid typographical nerd. As the photograph suggests, he has excellent breath and a fine taste in belts.
