Tom Waters

    Tom Waters is een auteur en essayist wiens schrijven begon in zijn vroege tienerjaren, aangemoedigd door een leraar Engels om een dagboek bij te houden en gedichten te schrijven. Zijn vroege carrière omvatte bijdragen aan publicaties op middelbare scholen en universiteiten voordat hij als freelancer voor talrijke kranten en tijdschriften werkte. Waters heeft een divers oeuvre geschreven, waaronder humoristische essays, poëzie, barrecensies in de geest van Hunter S. Thompson en autobiografieën. Hij heeft ook interviews met beroemdheden afgenomen en barrecensies geschreven, waarbij hij vaak authentieke lokale etablissementen verkiest boven trendy plekken. Om zijn bereik te vergroten, heeft Waters comedy-radio- en YouTube-shows gepresenteerd die toegewijde fans hebben aangetrokken.
