Aaron Giovannone is an author and professor. He has published the poetry collections The Nonnets (2018) and The Loneliness Machine (2014), while his personal and critical essays have appeared in venues such as The Walrus, Jacobin, Salon, Maclean’s, Brick, and The Literary Review of Canada. He has a PhD in English literature and creative writing from the University of Calgary, and he teaches at Mount Royal University, also in Calgary.   

Under the pseudonym Kit Francis, he co-writes middle-grade adventure novels with his wife, author and editor Naomi K. Lewis. 

Aaron is part Italian, which is excellent because it gives him an excuse to visit Italy nearly every year to see his relatives. In a strange coincidence, he is currently writing a thriller set in a small Italian town. 

Aaron is represented by Olga Filina at 5 Otter Literary Agency.
