Wendy Aron is an award-winning humorist (Society of Professional Journalists), television sitcom writer (Writers Guild of America, West) and comic playwright (McLaren Festival). Her writing has been published by The New York Times, Psychology Today, Newsweek, Pick the Brain, The Change Blog, IndieReader and Elephant Journal, amongst many other print publications and websites. She is also the author of a comic memoir about depression, which was published by an award-winning independent press just prior to its bankruptcy announcement. Despite this career trajectory, Wendy's greatest satisfaction comes from working with young people who are motivated to write simply because they find it fun and riding horses who think she's an idiot.
