Craig Chambers has a literature degree, a broker's license and a law degree. Listening to his mom when she said write about what you know, Chambers writes about relationships in the '80s, the shady side of selling real estate, and the low-end practice of law. He resides in Littleton, Colorado with his wife. He has four grown-up children.
He is a former editor of Maxy's Journal, The Vanderbilt Poetry Review, and Poetry & Audience. He has been published in The Little Review and The Greensboro Review. He also contributed to "The Rocky Mountain News."
In his junior year in college, Chambers attended the University of Leeds in England. He did not attend a single class, traveled around Europe instead. He came back and took the final exams, only to be disappointed that he got a 1 in English. He later learned that “First Honors” was the highest grade.
In the ‘80s he became a real estate broker while he worked on developing his writing style. Chambers attended law school in the ‘90’s because he observed a real estate closing where the lawyer messed up the deal, but still charged a fee of $1,000. He figured he could mess up a real estate deal for a lot less than that. His literary satire on the legal system, F*ck You, Your Honor, was released in June, 2017.
