I write books for kids (like AbrakaPOW from Simon & Schuster) and other things (like Iowa Chapman and the Last Dog for Gen-Z Media). I’m also a teacher, an editor, a musician, a dad, and a coffee fiend. Repped by Marietta Zacker.

Who’s your favorite second in history? (Second-in-command, second-born, silver medalist, etc.) I’m fascinated by the people who don’t always get the spotlight but still shaped history

My goal: to tell stories that make kids feel the same wonder I felt discovering books, comics, and films growing up. Hoping to connect with others who care about stories that matter.

Books are blueprints for the imagination.
Remember: every time we read with a child, we hand them the tools to build their future.
What are YOU building with your words today?

I dunno, guys. This is apparently a hot take, but I think people shouldn’t kill people, people shouldn’t be mean to people, people should love each other, and we should all try to make the world a better place.
Oh, and release the Epstein files.

Every draft of your manuscript teaches you something new: sometimes you learn something about your story, sometimes you learn something about yourself, and sometimes you learn that you shouldn’t drink coffee after midnight.

Man, I’m on my third read of Wild Minds by Reid Mitenbuler and it is as fun of a read as ever. If you’re into animation history, love cartoons, or just like history, it is a wild ride.

@bradguigar.com I would love to know if you think the concept of F-Shaped Reading (as described in this post) could inform comic artists making scrollable comics, and, if so, how? sketchplanations.com/f-shaped-rea...
F-Shaped Reading
Many of us absorb and sift through huge quantities of information on the web daily. We've trained ourselves to quickly pull out the most important information and decide if the rest is worth our time....

I’m proposing a department of the federal government to fill the job vacancies created by the deportation of undocumented workers with all the federal employees recently fired. It will be called the “Department Of Replacing Key Staff.” Or DORKS for short. And, yes, I will be the leader of the DORKS.

Three topics of no significance that are also hills upon which I will die:
1. The correct order in which one should read the Narnia books.
2. The correct order in which one should view the Star Wars movies.
3. Which version of the Beatles “Let It Be” album should be considered prime.

The @merriam-webster.com Word of The Day is “urbane.” Which reminds me of my petition to rename the Martian-Webster Dictionary the “Urbane Dictionary.” Any signers?
