About the Author

After years of struggling as a writer in Hollywood, author & illustrator Richard Krzemien finally has something to say about the creative process: "It's tougher than Himalayan yak jerky in January. But, as any creative person will tell you, there are days when there's absolutely nothing sweeter than creating something from nothing."

Some of Mr. Krzemien’s noted TV writing credits include, "War of the Worlds," "The New Twilight Zone," and creator of the first story to feature the infamous Ferengi on "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

What People are Saying About This

Bruce Joel Rubin

"The Writer at Work finds more humor in the writing experience than anything else I've ever come across."
—Academy Award-winning Screenwriter, "Ghost," "Jacob's Ladder," "My Life," "Deep Impact"

Jeff Reich

"Richard captures the quixotic nature of the writing life in perfect detail. Every writer who faces a blank page will identify with The Writer at Work."
—Managing Editor, The Writer magazine

Marc Madnick

"Witty and hilarious, Krzemien’s comics about the profession of writing are simply state-of-the-art fun."
—President/CEO FINAL DRAFT, Inc.

James Crocker

"Part Gary Larson, part Franz Kafka with a little Stephen Hawking thrown in, Krzemien’s comics render the pain and frustration of being a writer in a caustically funny new light. There's no denying his work is deliriously off-center, yet brilliantly dead-on."
—Writer/Producer, "The New Twilight Zone," "The Outer Limits ," "Deep Space Nine"

Philip Moscovitch

"Most screenwriters have had to deal with abusive producers, a dumbed-down marketplace, the drudgery of day jobs and a total lack of self-esteem. But Richard Krzemien has something special - the ability to consistently make us laugh at it all."
—Editor, Canadian Screenwriter magazine
