Joey Comeau:
Joey Comeau (born September 26, 1980) is a Canadian writer. He is best known for writing the text of the webcomic A Softer World.
In 2003 Comeau co-created A Softer World with Emily Horne. Truth and Beauty Bombs, a book collecting the comic, was published in 2006. The A Softer World site also features Overqualified, his series of humorous prank cover letters sent to real companies. His first novel, a "genderqueer adventure story" called Lockpick Pornography, was serialized prior to publication in book form by Loose Teeth Press. As of September 8, 2008, the book is available as a free download in its entirety from the Lockpick Pornography website. Comeau is also a writer of short fiction for various magazines, and several of his short stories appear in It's Too Late To Say I'm Sorry, his third publication.
Comeau currently resides in Toronto, Ontario. He has a degree in linguistics. Openly bisexual, Comeau has stated that he hates the word "bisexual", explaining "It's not descriptive or useful. It always gives me images of people with bad goatees who wear capes and stuff. I'm just queer."[1] According to his livejournal, Joey Comeau is working on a new book for ECW Press, a novel based on Overqualified.
