I've been in publishing in various roles for 15 years.

As a book marketing consultant, I've put dozens of books on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and other bestseller lists.

I am now the CEO and Publisher at Story Grid, where we have the only comprehensive story theory developed from the ground up by my partner Shawn Coyne.

I am the author of five books, including the perennial sellers Running Down a Dream and Your First 1000 Copies. My next novel, The Shit Head, is coming Spring 2024.

What am I doing now?
