<p>I&#8217;m available to talk about any of the articles I&#8217;ve written on your podcast, radio program or TV show. I&#8217;m also available for any speaking engagements. Here are some topics I can speak on:</p>



<ul>
<li>How to maintain (and revive) friendships</li>



<li>The psychological reason why we give the gifts we do</li>



<li>How to handle a friendship quiet season</li>
</ul>



<p>I&#8217;m currently working on a book called MODERN FRIENDSHIP about optimizing your friendships. It will be out in June 2024 on Sounds True. I&#8217;m represented by Sonali Chanchani at Folio Literary.</p>



<p>I&#8217;m also adapting &#8220;Clearly, I Didn&#8217;t Think This Through&#8221; for television. I&#8217;m represented by Michelle Weiner at CAA.</p>
