More About the Author

One way or another, I've written or worked with writers all my life -- I've made a living at various times as a reporter, columnist, editor, blogger and book author. (Most of the time it's been a combination of some or all of those things.)

I am a writer, editor, and consultant based in Brooklyn, N.Y. I spent more than 12 years at The Wall Street Journal Online, where I wrote the "Real Time" column about technology and co-wrote "The Daily Fix," a daily roundup of great sportswriting. I've also worked as the Web evangelist for EidosMedia, a Milan-based maker of innovative editing-and-publishing software. I explore the future of journalism in the digital age at my blog Reinventing the Newsroom (www.reinventingthenewsroom.com) and co-write Faith and Fear in Flushing (www.faithandfearinflushing.com), a blog about the New York Mets, with my friend Greg Prince. (Both blogs are available for your Kindle.) As a member of the Poynter Review project, I serve as an ombudsman for ESPN.

Oh, and I like Star Wars.

Whether you're writing about your own characters, an imaginary galaxy, a nearby baseball team, the perils of journalism or the promise of technology, the path to becoming a successful writer is the same: Write every day, learn from other writers and from good editors, push your writing to make sure it's as clear and engaging as possible, and value every form of writing you get to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Visual Reference for the Clone Wars Universe, July 1, 2010

Length:: 1:19 Mins

This is a great value for a visual reference of over 200 characters from the ongoing Clone Wars Animated Series. For the average cost of three action figures you get a full body image of every major character, clone trooper, droid, and alien that has played a role in this series along with a few quick facts from their respective story lines. Definitely a nice reference book for kids and fans of the series that might want to draw or create some fan comics of their own within this universe.

My little Star Wars enthusiast thinks this is something every kid should have. And it deserves a thousand stars.

Seriously, he practiced math facts every day on vacation in order to "earn" minutes of reading this book. This was a tremendous way to reward my little boy for a job well done.
