Hy Bender

I'm a world-class story analyst, editor, and book proposal expert who's helped hundreds of writers, ranging from New York Times bestselling authors to Hollywood screenwriters.

I'm also the author of 16 books that have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. These include five books in the popular "Dummies" series and a "Complete Idiot's Guide," which demonstrate my ability to explain even complex concepts in an accessible, entertaining manner that anyone can understand.

In addition, I've sold humor articles to such diverse national newspapers & magazines as The New York Times, American Film, Advertising Age, Spy, and Mad Magazine.

These credits show that I'm highly skilled at tailoring my style to fit any format; am very effective at communicating with mass audiences; am a superb interviewer with a keen ear for an author's voice; and have an exceptional sense of humor, which helps to enliven anything I write or edit.
