Lori Gottlieb Wants You to Change Your Story

Lori Gottlieb is one hell of a writer.

She published her childhood diaries as a book.

She’s written for the New York Times, The Atlantic and NPR.

You may know her from writing “Marry Him: the Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough,” in which I coached her throughout the writing of the book.

You may know her from this book review I wrote or this podcast I did with her.

What you might not know:

She dated my roommate.

She wrote a few TV scripts with me.

She introduced me to my first book agent.

Our sons share the same first name.
