About JVB

Joseph VanBuren has lived a compelling narrative—a life story that showcases the reality of resurrection, the healing love of God, and the transformative power of the Gospel. Now he wants to share his experiences with others through poetry, fiction, music, and more.

JVB’s work has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies. He spent a year as the editor-in-chief of the literary journal Confluence and has edited over thirty books. He has written, recorded, and produced hundreds of songs; opened up for national touring acts; had one of his tracks played on The Colbert Report; and is a member of the Christian PEN: Proofreaders and Editors Network as well as the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.

Originally from the Hudson Valley region of New York, JVB now lives with his beloved wife Renée in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is a member of Three Rivers Baptist Church. Recent projects include Born Again, his first Christian-themed book. Find him on introverted media @ JVBsykophunk.
