About The
AUTHOR
Linton Taylor is a Chicago-based writer and debut novelist who fell in love with storytelling at a young age, penning his first short story in seventh grade. In college, he experimented with short vignettes, but it was a senior-year fiction writing course that sparked the idea for The Gesture That Fit. Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Taylor draws on personal reflections about identity, queerness, and the survival strategies learned in childhood to craft intimate, unflinching narratives exploring belonging and masculinity.
