Hey, I'm Alex, a humor writer, book junkie, and lover of philosophy, snake plants, and tea.
You can find my writing in The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Points In Case, and Austin Monthly.
I am also a co-creator of You But Better, the #1 self-improvement podcast on the planet.
Here on Medium, I write mostly short comedic fiction pieces for Slackjaw, a publication I help edit. Plus the occasional essay on writing or whatever I'm obsessing over at the moment.

What else is here? Hot damn, I'm glad you asked.
I run a monthly humor newsletter, where I share some funny writing from myself and other writers on Slackjaw, plus book recommendations.
I made a Humor Writing Cheat Sheet for aspiring humor writers.
I have a short, illustrated book called Nihilist Dad Jokes. The skeletons (above) are from the book.
You get all 3 of those things if you use any of the links above, so I recommend you get the goodies and don't overthink it. Leave the overthinking to me.
