Boylston has enjoyed acclaim as a fiction writer, with short stories published in several literary journals, including Doubletake, The Nebraska Review and The Missouri Review. His short story manuscript, “Water We Have Lived In,” was a finalist for the Sandstone Prize in 2001 and 2002. He won the New Voice Fiction Award and a Pushcart Prize nomination for his story, “The Side Away from the Candle,” plus he was awarded the Nantucket Writing Award in Fiction for his short story, “Once the Castle is Built.” He has been listed as a teacher and writer in Who’s Who in America since 2001.
