The Uptown welcomes author/writer/producer Chris Harris for a discussion that will focus on his experiences working in as a television writer and producer, writing as a profession, and the modern entertainment industry.

Chris Harris is the author of the number-one-except-for-two-other-books New York Times-bestselling children’s book I’M JUST NO GOOD AT RHYMING, lauded by Publisher’s Weekly as “a worthy heir to Silverstein, Seuss and even Ogden Nash.” His follow-up THE ALPHABET’S ALPHABET, illustrated by Dan Santat and praised by Kirkus as “a sure-fire winner,” will be released in September, 2020. Chris has spent over twenty years in television, most of it near the craft service table. Among his credits are writer/executive producer for HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, executive producer/showrunner for THE GOODWIN GAMES and THE GREAT INDOORS, and writer for THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN. His written pieces have appeared in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, ESPN, and on one of those shows on NPR – probably All Things Considered, but it’s been a while so he’s not 100% certain.
