K. R. Wilson grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He has a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Calgary, which is probably why his writing contains so damn much music. He's also technically a lawyer.
His debut novel, An Idea About My Dead Uncle, won the inaugural Guernica Prize for unpublished manuscript in 2018 and was published by Guernica Editions in 2019.
His novel Call Me Stan: A Tragedy in Three Millennia was published by Guernica in 2021 and was longlisted for the Leacock Medal for Literary Humour. Its follow-up, Stan On Guard, will be published by Guernica in 2026.
His work has also appeared in Bywords, The Temz Review, Syncopation Literary Journal, DarkWinter Literary Magazine, Pinhole Poetry, and the flash fiction anthology This Will Only Take a Minute. He lives in Toronto.
