G.L. Sherman is a full-time screenwriter originally from Providence, Rhode Island. He received his B.A. from Brandeis University, his J.D. from Boston College Law School and his sense of humor from a crazy Jewish family. He worked as an attorney, software developer and entrepreneur for most of his professional life. A lifelong writer, since 2021 G.L. has devoted himself to crafting hilarious yet heartfelt stories, usually on Jewish themes. His passions are gardening, micro- and museum-dosing, and making people laugh, not necessarily in that order.
