The 60-Second Novelist

The 60-Second Novelist has written over 25,000 of his 60-Second Novels during the past 18 years, for the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Brokaw, Rush Limbaugh and many people you've never heard of. Last year The 60 Second Novelist wrote a 60-Second Novel for Matt Lauer live on the "Today" Show. He has also been featured on CNN, NPR, AOL, Good Housekeeping, The New York Times, USA Today, and People. His book, "What 22,612 People Taught Me About Life," was excerpted last year in Reader's Digest. Dressed in his trademark yellow reporter's hat and bowtie, The 60 Second Novelist interviews a person for a few minutes, asking spontaneous questions, then types the person's "life story" in about a minute on his sleek, portable Remington typewriter. (You've never seen anyone type faster! And when was the last time your guests even saw a typewriter?) With married people he typically asks how they met their spouse; singles are often asked what kind of sweetheart they're looking for; kids typically are asked what they want to be when they grow up. From there the conversations go...wherever! The 60 Second Novelist takes the information, adds his imagination, insight and impish humor, and pounds out a story that's guaranteed to amaze. Each story is given to the person in what looks to be a book jacket, autographed by the author. Your guests have never seen anything like him. That's why The 60 Second Novelist is the world's only 60-Second Novelist!
