About the Author

Brett Ortler

I'm a writer and editor, and over the course of my career, I've worked on all sorts of projects, everything from looking up swear words at a translation agency (if you ever need to swear in Albanian, I'm your guy) to editing a book about knot tying. (That was a big step for me; I quit the Boy Scouts because I was so bad at knot tying.) Over the past six years, I've edited dozens of books while serving as an editor at Adventure Publications, and on the side, I've always been writing magazine articles, humor pieces, poetry and web posts. My writing has appeared all over the place, from the websites Salon and The Nervous Breakdown to the print magazine Living Ready, and in a bevy of literary magazines and publications. More recently, I wrote two non-fiction books--The Firefly Book and The Mosquito Handbook--and I'm excited for them to hit bookshelves. Anyway, thanks for visiting, and for reading, and don't hesitate to contact me with questions.
