I’m an editor at Slackjaw, a Medium publication with 149k+ followers that runs daily humor pieces from veteran and up-and-coming writers. In 2024, I created “Slackjaw: LIVE,” an NYC comedy show that brings together writers for nights of readings and discussions. Our featured speakers have weighed in on topics ranging from “How To Collaborate When Writing A Humor Book,” “How to Write Topical Political Satire,” “What Banned Books Teach Us About Writing Difficult Stories,” and more.
I produce and host the SJ: LIVE at Caveat, on the Lower East Side. Here are some highlights from our last seven shows:
