Michael Nejman 

 

Michael Nejman is a 2016 IPPY Award nominee and the author of Laughing at the Sun: The Story of a Man Who Changed His Spots. Long before the Netflix documentary Will & Harper brought “friendship and transition” road trips into the mainstream, Michael was documenting the bumpy, hilarious, and often profound reality of a straight man and his gay friend navigating a cross-country search for meaning. His work has been featured on Chicago’s WGN radio station and The Gaily Show podcast, remaining a timeless touchstone for anyone navigating their own “midlife” evolution.

 

Michael is also the author of well-regarded academic works, as well as a freelance writer of lifestyle articles. He has written for the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and the L.A. Times Syndicate, with several of my articles being nationally and internationally syndicated.

 

Please note: He currently does not have an active X account (formerly known as Twitter). Be wary of tweets with his name attached to them as there are several "Michael Nejmans" in the U.S.
