Zachary O'Neill

Hello there! 

I am in my ninth year working at Yuba College and eighteenth year teaching overall. I have been full-time here for eight years, and I worked one year as a part-time adjunct.

I have taught at community colleges and universities in California, Nevada, Texas, and South Carolina. I have a BA in English from UC Santa Barbara, a Master’s in English from Sacramento State, and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of South Carolina, where I was the recipient of the James Dickey Fellowship and editor of Yemassee, the school's literary journal. I also had a writing fellowship at the University of Houston, where I worked as a visiting assistant professor. 

I have published short creative work in various literary journals. For full-length work, I have published a short story collection and a novella at a small press in New York City called Spuyten-Duyvil. For more about me, see my own personal website on Substack: https://zackoneill.substack.com/

At Yuba College I teach English C1000, English 1B, and English C1001. I am more than happy to answer any questions you have about different writing disciplines, or college environments. Also, lots of students ask me to check out their creative work and I am more than happy to do that too!
