Larry Gotterer

Larry Gotterer writes books for readers who like their humor twisted, their stories off-kilter, and their brains doing somersaults while wondering, “Wait — did I just read that right?”

He’s the award-winning author of Find Happiness through Negative Thinking — a self-help satire for anyone officially over toxic positivity. It’s snagged national honors, proving that well-aimed complaining actually pays off.

Larry also crafts hilariously offbeat children’s picture books, including Please Get Your Shoe off My Brother! and The King Who Thought Everyone’s Ideas Stunk. Big ideas for little humans, zero preachiness, and lasting memories kids can hold onto.

His parents wanted a doctor. He technically took that path — just as a patient. Meanwhile, he made his mark as a TV producer-writer, advertising creative director-senior copywriter, and well-rounded creative lunatic.

Open one of his books and it’s as close as you can get to rummaging around his brain — but be warned, what you find might just permanently alter yours. Curious? Dive deeper by searching Larry Gotterer author website or Larry Gotterer Books on Facebook — if you dare.
