Dan Brown

An advertising copywriter for more than 30 years with hundreds of major awards to my credit, I have played key roles at several leading agencies in the US, including Arnold and Hill Holliday. In addition to my advertising career, I have licensed numerous concepts for calendars, greeting cards and t-shirts. Among my successes is an offbeat 2007 wall calendar called Sumo Day Jobs, featuring sumo wrestlers in unlikely professions such as rock star, figure skater, dog trainer, and umpire. In the spring of 2007, I launched Jewish FunnyBone, a line of irreverent, provocative Jewish greeting cards. In 2010 I launched FunnyBone Greetings. My first novel — Roll Over, Hitler! — won the Silver Medal for Popular Fiction at the 2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards and also received an Honorable Mention in General Fiction at 2011 New England Book Festival Awards. I have completed a second novel, which is currently being pitched to publishers and producers by my agent Spencer Greene.
