John Kenney has worked as a copywriter at Hill Holliday, Ogilvy, McGarry Bowen, and Publicis. He has also worked as a freelance writer for many years.

In addition to advertising, he has written two novels, four books of (alleged) poetry, and been a frequent contributor to The New Yorker.

His first novel, Truth In Advertising, won the Thurber Prize for American Humor. His book Love Poems (for Married People) was a New York Times Bestseller.

Despite the fact that he eats beef, pork, lamb, eggs and cheese, he considers himself a vegan. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and two children, whose names escape him at the moment.

Thank you.
