John Morano is Professor of Journalism at Monmouth University in New Jersey. He has authored four novels in The Morano Eco-Adventure Series, and a textbook for aspiring film critics, Don’t Tell Me the Ending!
Under contract with Grey Gecko Press, John is currently working on his fifth novel, a story following the lives of endangered wolves.
John has served as the founding Editor-in-Chief of ROCKbeat Magazine, managing editor of Modern Screen Magazine, and senior editor of Inside Books Magazine.
A writer very concerned with endangered species and habitat depletion, John employs the journalistic ethic of giving a voice to the voiceless as he pens stories of imperiled creatures and habitats that can’t speak for themselves.
With over twenty-five years of experience at Monmouth University, Professor Morano has won many teaching awards, including The Distinguished Faculty Award, The Celebration of Teaching Award, and five consecutive Student Choice Awards.
Morano advises the student newspaper, The Outlook, which has been recognized nationally as University Newspaper of the Year four times (2009, 2012, 2013, 2019) by the American Scholastic Press Association.
In addition to his work at Monmouth University, John has studied at Clark University, Penn State University, and Adelphi University.
John enjoys playing basketball, reviewing films, hunting for fossils, throwing Frisbee with his dogs, and barbecuing with his family.
