William Lower

William Lower writes humorous, satirical stories about people confronting technology, power, and the human condition.

His novel, The Typo: In the Name of God, begins with a question: before AI, when else had technology upended so many creative professions? The printing press was the obvious answer—and the idea of a catastrophic typo in a Gutenberg Bible was where the humor began. The book is the first in The Florentine Shadows series and won the IndieReader Discovery Award for Humor: Fiction.

Lower began his paid writing career in advertising, working with industry icons including Mary Wells Lawrence and James Patterson. Humor, storytelling, and a lifelong curiosity about human spirituality have remained constant threads in his work. He has been compared to Robin Williams; Robin Williams was once mistaken for him.

Whether writing novels, satire, nonfiction, or developing work for the stage, his aim is simple: entertain, provoke thought, and make people smile when the world gives them every reason not to.
