Hi, Ben-

I understand that you're looking for a writer with a background in comedy with whom to collaborate on some projects, and I thought I'd drop you a line. I'm a full-time freelancer who just moved out to New York six months ago from Austin. My work has appeared in National Lampoon, Jest, Hustler, The Onion A.V. Club, McSweeney's, and dozens of other publications, and I worked briefly as a contract writer for the Fox Business Channel when I first moved out here. My first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was released last year to praise from Alan Dershowitz, Rolling Stone, Air America Radio, and other sources.

Here are a couple of links to some fairly recent work. Take a look and let me know if you'd like to discuss this further.

Thanks,

Barrett Brown
