Christopher Frizzelle is legendary for his creativity. As a book critic at The Stranger beginning in 2003, he created a literary column called The Nightstand, and organized live interviews with writers like Jonathan Safran Foer and Zadie Smith in Seattle rock clubs like Chop Suey and Neumos, and commissioned bands to write original music about their books. He went on to be editor-in-chief of The Stranger from 2007 to 2016, where on a shoestring budget he led the scrappy alt-weekly to winning a Pulitzer Prize in 2012 and to being a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 2014. In 2020, he created the FrizzLit Book Club reading great works of literature, which he wrote about in the Washington Post. In 2025, he launched a small press called FrizzLit Editions, in collaboration with art director Corianton Hale. Frizzelle attended the University of Washington and Bennington Writing Seminars. He has an MFA in creative nonfiction from Bennington.
