Why Choose Me As An Editor?
I'm glad you asked. I'm funny and I can write. I've been writing copy for over thirty-five years, but turned to humor exclusively in 2023. I retired from the marketing biz after twenty years running my own company, Mainline Media, in suburban PA. Aside from my many satisfied clients, my company's biggest claim to fame was being repeatedly confused by the IRS for Mainline Media Publications which apparently owes them a shit-ton of back-taxes. After starting my first novel in 2015, I've educated myself in creative writing by reading every book and watching every friggin' video by everyone who claims to have any wisdom to share about the craft. It is my conclusion that all their advice cancels out and we're on our own to find our voice and process.
Experience:
My expertise stems from a life lived. The breadth of my experiences, circumstances, interests, and travels is so wide and deep, I've even had enough time to settle on "reclusive homebody" as my favorite state. I'm particularly versed in dysfunction and existential dread, but round that out nicely with material on office dramas, political commentary, sports parody, parenting woes, marital blisters, and suburban drudgery.
A Typical Day:
Wake up, shower, brush teeth, and then find anything to distract me from working on my next novel. This usually has me latching onto some stupid, random notion which I spend the better part of the next three days turning into a short humor piece.
