L.E. McCullough has been a writer since before he learned how to read.
In Boy Scouts, he was appointed Patrol Scribe. . . a fancy name for recording secretary, but after each Troop campout, he would produce a stirring account of the Snake Patrol’s epic adventures in the wilderness — accounts that occasionally resembled quasi-reality.
His first literary payment came at age 13 from ghost-writing a love poem for a pal who desperately wanted to impress an incipient girlfriend with something more than “roses are red”. (It worked.)
L.E. McCullough grew up to become a journalist, songwriter and author of plays, poetry, short fiction, filmscripts, audiobooks and more — a versatile Scribe who tells stories that need to be told, stories that give voice to the voiceless in our society.
As a writer of poetry, fiction and drama, his work has crossed innumerable stylistic and demographic boundaries; he has had 183 poem and story publications in 93 North American literary journals and won 47 awards in 33 regional and national literary competitions. His first produced play, "Blues for Miss Buttercup", debuted in New York in 1995 and won the Urban Stages Emerging Playwrights Award. He has written and published scores of commercial audiobooks, filmscripts and radio plays.
He’s written and published 27 theatre books (including 189 original plays and 333 original monologues) that have established him as a leader in the field of contemporary Children's & Educational Theatre. Since 1999 his "Plays of America for Young Actors" book has been named to Glencoe/McGraw-Hill Recommended Reading List alongside literary classics like "To Kill a Mocking Bird", "Great Expectations", "Lord of the Flies" and "Midsummer Night's Dream".
He has authored music instruction books, cassettes and videos along with books on music business and the history of Cabaret. He has been a recognized leader in the field of Irish music scholarship and teaching for more than three decades.
Surprisingly (or perhaps not), he’s also written and edited books
in the field of Spirituality.

"Jesus, man, you can really write, and no mistake. . . I get maybe five manuscripts a week which people expect me to read and criticize. Yours is the only one I ever read straight through because I was so amazed and interested."
— Author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
