Jerry Grillo learned how to type on a manual Smith-Corona and learned how to write while toiling for newspapers in Illinois, New York, Georgia, New York again, South Carolina, Georgia again, Pennsylvania, and Georgia yet again. Along the way, he won a bunch of writing awards from different press associations and realized his dream of being a country newspaper editor. That experience sent him scurrying, gratefully, to the world of magazines. He was an editor at Georgia Trend magazine for almost 15 years, winning a bunch of regional and national awards for stories about business, politics, the environment, sports, music, but the best part was, he got to interview Jimmy Carter, John Lewis, and Henry Aaron. Grillo also has worked as a freelance writer for a variety of other publications, including Atlanta, Paste, Golf, Fringe Golf, Super Lawyers, Jambands.com, and ESPN.com. These days, he works for the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he writes about science, mostly. When he isn't working on a writing side gig, he's obsessing over baseball minutiae. He's written a few chapters for books published by the Society for American Baseball Research. In fact, it was the baseball stuff that he and Col. Bruce Hampton bonded over. The baseball stuff led to a deeper interest in Bruce's music and a deeper interest in Bruce, and that ultimately led to 'The Music and Mythocracy of Col. Bruce Hampton: A Basically True Biography.' This is my first book. I hope to write a few more. Possibly something about baseball. You can keep up with stuff here: jerrygrillowriter.com
