  1. Hi Sean,

    My name is Aviva DeKornfeld. I work for This American Life. We’re thinking of rerunning your piece, “Isn’t it Slow-mantic” this week. I’m wondering if your Uncle Mark and Ha are still together.

    If we do rerun the piece, we’ll want to plug whatever you’re working on now. This is what we currently say: “Sean Christopher Lewis is a playwright and a performer currently touring the country with two shows, Killadelphia and Just Kids. To find out when he’s coming to your town, go to seanchristopherlewis.com.” Is there’s anything we should change or add?

    I would love to hear from you as soon as possible, since the show goes out on Friday. Sorry for the short turnaround!

    Best,

    Aviva

  2. Hello Mr. Lewis,

    My name is Kyle Hval and I’m a librarian at Mountain View Public Library in Mountain View, CA. I’m a big fan of your work and I’d love it if we could host an author event for you to showcase your upcoming comic series, Thumbs. We are in the heart of Silicon Valley not far from the headquarters of Google and Facebook and I think the themes in your comic
    would really appeal to our patrons (and staff 😎). Would you be interested in doing an author talk or book signing at our library? We would be absolutely thrilled to have you and I would do my utmost to accommodate all your needs and work around your schedule! Thank you for your consideration and I greatly look forward to reading your new series!

    Sincerely,
    Kyle Hval
    Librarian
