Overview
I've taught comic writing at UCLA and edited others' manuscripts. Oh, and I had a nice ten-year career writing, creating, and producing children's television. Other than that I haven't done anything except cook and play the drums.

Currently I am editing one writer's memoir and another's novel. I've also edited two war veterans' memoirs.
I've published with many major American publishers, including Little, Brown; Plume; NAL; Dutton; Chronicle Books; and Riverhead Books. My latest book, co-authored with a friend, is MONSTERS OF THE IVY LEAGUE, published on April 11, 2017 (see Portfolio, below).
I've contributed articles to the New Yorker, Spy, Mademoiselle, Air & Space, Smithsonian, Child, Parenting, and others. Many of these magazines no longer exist but that's not my fault.
Speaking of which, I was an editor/writer of National Lampoon.
