My day job is as a screenwriter, story editor and lyricist specializing in literary adaptations for children (won an Emmy for the animated t.v. show Madeline, on which I was also a story editor, lyricist and supervising producer). But, for the last four years, all I've done is worry about whether my sons were going to get into college. My book, based on my blog about college admissions angst, is now about to be published by Prospect Park Media.

"The Neurotic Parent's Guide to College Admissions," author (Prospect Park Books, March 1, 2012)
"I'm Going to College, Not You," contributor(St. Martins, 2011)

Plus:
Several children's features, hundreds of television scripts (including Sesame Street, Arthur, Angelina Ballerina and the animated version of Madeline, for which I won an Emmy); lyrics for many children's songs (currently Jim Henson's Pajanimals); a few children's books.

I teach screenwriting and kids' programming classes at La Universidad de Los Andes in Santiago, Chile. I am also a frequent guest lecturer at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, as well as several universities and professional organizations in Europe and Latin America.
