As a kid, I read 3 kinds of books:
Fairytales
Encyclopedias
Satire for children
Naturally, I grew up to write stories that mix wonder, humor, and random-but-useful facts1.
I’m a comedy writer and storyteller. My favorites? Chekhov and Monty Python – so my comedy is smart, absurd, and deeply human (or at least funny, me hopes).
I focus on humorous, character-driven storytelling, scriptwriting, and ads – for YOU. 🫵
- Satirists have long disguised their critiques as children’s stories – See Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, Jonathan Swift‘s Gulliver’s Travels, Gianni Rodari’s Cipollino. That was a clever way to dodge censorship and prosecution. But…by wrapping social and political satire in the blanket of adventure and whimsy, they shaped generations of readers who absorbed satire instinctively, long before they could articulate it. The result? Adults who, without even realizing it, learned to question authority, recognize hypocrisy, and laugh in the face of power. ↩︎
