Scott Wordsman

I received a Bachelor of Arts from Rowan University in 2013, where I predominantly studied TV and film production, writing arts, and French language; in 2016, I graduated from William Paterson University with an MFA in Creative & Professional Writing. I have served as an adjunct professor within the English Department at NJCU since Fall 2017, where I teach composition courses, as well as the occasional creative writing or young adult literature course. My areas of interest include social and political philosophy, contemporary poetry and rock music, and 20th century American literature.

Aside from teaching, I've published essays, articles, poems, and book reviews in outlets such as Tablet, Splice Today, SuperRare, Colorado Review, The Rumpus, and elsewhere. I also work as a portrait and figure model, posing at such places as NYU, Pace University, The Florence Academy, Chelsea Classical Studio, Spring Street Studio, Bat Haus, Drawing America, and other schools and galleries in the NJ and NYC areas. I've lived in Jersey City for over eight years and really treasure the opportunity to teach at NJCU.
