His fiction explores the spectrum of complexities and contradictions in the contemporary American South. His short stories have appeared in Blood Orange Review, BULL, the Carolina Quarterly, and CRAFT, among other outlets.

He lives in Edisto, SC.

“Robert Maynor knows South Carolina. He knows catfishing and football. More than anything, though, he knows how to spin a yarn. Each line of his poignant debut bleeds raw emotion and powerful, dark energy. The Big Game Is Every Night hits like a linebacker on a backside blitz. Not to be missed.” —Eli Cranor, author of Don't Know Tough“Written in spare yet evocative prose, Robert Maynor’s The Big Game is Every Night is a quiet and powerful meditation on broken families, fractured friendships, the pain of reckoning with having the thing that most defines you taken away in an instant, and the legacy violence leaves in its wake.” —John Vercher, author of After the Lights Go Out“One of the most honest works of fiction I have ever read. The Big Game Is Every Night is a bruised and brutal debut about a boy on the precipice of manhood and all the terror it entails. Maynor’s novel made me want to cradle my two sons and never let go.”  —J.C. Sasser, author of Gradle Bird“The Big Game Is Every Night is a Southern coming-of-age novel that grapples with serious questions about the difference between being a man and being a good man." —Jeff Fleischer, Foreword Reviews“Maynor’s novel is at its best when documenting Grady’s depression and alienation. A heartfelt story of ambition, family, and frustration.” —Kirkus Reviews
