Person
David Sherman started working newspapers as a copy boy; and later as a reporter, feature writer and copy editor. He then branched out to magazine editor and singer/songwriter, and to various other pursuits that had one thing in common: they didn't pay. His first novel, The Alcoholic's Daughter, was published by Guernica Editions, as will be his next, The Situation Womb.
