Gapinski's writing has appeared in Burdock magazine, Oak Bend Review, Pudding Magazine, Line Zero, and elsewhere. He is Managing Editor of The Conium Review, and he teaches a story course at Mt. Hood Community College.
He is currently entering his fourth semester in Goddard College's MFA in Creative Writing program, and he's enjoyed working on the Pitkin Review every step of the way.

Says James about his Goddard experience: “In the Goddard MFA program, I’ve received tremendous individualized support from my advisors, Ryan Boudinot and Darrah Cloud. Each semester’s study plan is crafted to meet my educational needs. Goddard College encourages students to take ownership of their own learning. There are no one-size-fits-all curricula at Goddard; every student comes away from individual advising sessions with something unique.”
