A special message from Mike ...

My name is Mike Segretto. I am a New York-based freelance writer/editor with 8 years of experience in a variety of fields (educational, biographical, film, fiction, online). The majority of my work has been in the standardized testing industry where I've written and edited textbooks and online material for companies such as Argosy, Kaplan, and The Princeton Review. However, I have also written about literature (Barnes & Noble.com) and film (Wrapped in Plastic Magazine), and I have published three novels, two of which were optioned to become motion pictures for which I also wrote the screenplays. I have been nominated for an Independent Book Publisher Award and have received great accolades from high-profile members of the literary and cinema world.

Testimonials Praise for my last novel 'The Bride of Trash': "Mike Segretto has a master touch for satire and dialogue. The novel is both entertaining and clever... I salute a bright talent." — Herschell Gordon Lewis (legendary filmmaker) "Few writers take the kinds of risks he takes, and almost no one pulls it off with such punk elan. Thumbs up " -Jonathan Maberry (Bram Stoker Award winning writer) "Mike Segretto's 'Bride of Trash' continues Jonathan Swift's tradition of brilliant satire." — Fred Rosen (author: Lobster Boy) "Extremely funny, utterly sick, and...gasp ...I even cared about the characters. Great stuff " — Jeff Strand (author: Mandibles; Graverobbers Wanted [No Experience Necessary]) My third novel 'How to Smash Everyone to Pieces' was chosen as one of the ten best novels of 2004 by The Mysterious Bookshop in New York City.
