William Lower

William Lower, Canadian, is a writer fascinated by the interplay of humor, history, and humanity. His paid-writing journey began in the world of advertising at a time when the industry hired a disproportionate number of society’s most unemployable people, he being one. The bulk of his career was spent in the United States where he honed his storytelling skills while working with industry icons Mary Wells Lawrence and James Patterson. Writing was always his first love, and he’s since ventured into novels, satire, and nonfiction.

Humor has been a constant thread throughout his work, as has an underlying curiosity about human spirituality. He was frequently compared to Robin Williams and Robin Williams was once mistaken for him.

Working with Paul Schulman, former Wells, Rich, Greene, Head of Production and later General Manager, he is currently exploring the art of storytelling on stage, with a Broadway show in development about the outrageous Mary Wells Lawrence, the outrageous people she employed and the outrageous results they achieved.

Whether it’s books, articles, or stage productions, Lower’s passion is to entertain, provoke thought, and make people smile even when all that’s going on in the world around us gives people every reason not to.
