I’m a long-time copywriter and creative director, a published author, a regular contributor to McSweeney’s, a book reviewer for The Washington Post, the creator of a best-selling Substack, and my work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Cut, and The New York Times.

From a three-word tagline to a 300-page book and big show pony projects to foundational workhorse stuff, if it’s writing I find it all interesting. And that’s two too many equine references in one sentence. Anyway, let’s get into it.
