Joshua David Cleveland writes grounded, high-stakes LGBT+ fiction where psychological tension meets the fragile mechanics of human connection. Deeply atmospheric and intellectually sharp, his stories explore the quiet mysteries of identity, autonomy, and the structural breaking points of relationships.

​

​With over two decades of experience across journalism, news reporting, and creative narrative, Joshua crafts deeply felt, cinematic worlds that treat the environment as its own complex character. When he isn’t untangling the messy, intricate corners of the human psyche on the page, he lives and writes in Colorado, where he spends his days teaching and on the ice figure skating.
