Scott Sullivan

Director, Stony Brook Manhattan Center for Creative Writing and Film

Scott Sullivan officially joined the Lichtenstein Center team as director of the Stony Brook Manhattan Center for Creative Writing and Film in 2018, after serving in a similar role for 16 years at the original Stony Brook Manhattan. Scott grew up in London, the Middle East, and Toronto; he has a Bachelor's degree in English from Amherst College; and he thrives on wearing many hats. He enjoyed a first career in magazine publishing, and has been — and continues to be — an avid athlete and a fan of em-dashes. In addition to his facility, scheduling, and budgetary duties for the Manhattan Center, Scott also serves as the current managing editor of The Southampton Review. Together with his wife Elana, Scott is raising two children and a dog in Manhattan, with frequent escapes to the Berkshires and western Catskills.
