John Lewis Englehardt III (born May 23, 1987) is an American fiction writer and educator. His debut novel is Bloomland.
Englehardt earned a BA in creative writing from Seattle University and a MFA from the University of Arkansas. [1] Englehardt taught English composition and creative writing classes at the University of Arkansas while completing his MFA. [2] After completing his MFA, Englehardt worked as a contributing editor at Pacifica Literary Review, [3] and was selected as a 2015 Made at Hugo House Fellow. [4]
His debut novel Bloomland was published by Dzanc Books in 2019.

Kirkus Reviews describes Bloomland as "Hugely important, hauntingly brutal" and states, "Englehardt has just announced himself as one of America’s most talented emerging writers." [10] Kristen Millares Young of The Washington Post writes, "“Bloomland” juxtaposes the proximate with the predator, intermingling their perspectives until the flickering becomes a bloody tapestry of our beleaguered nation." [11] In The Literary Review , Jeff Bursey states, "writing a relatively non-polemical debut novel about a student who shoots others at his campus would be difficult to do, but John Englehardt, in Bloomland, has achieved this feat." [12] Publishers Weekly describes the novel as "potent" and states, "Englehardt’s debut poses timely, difficult questions." [13]
Englehardt married his partner, Katharine Toombs, in March 2017. [19] He currently resides in Seattle.
