Tom Bentley is a business writer and editor, an essayist, and a fiction writer. (He does not play banjo.) He’s had hundreds of freelance pieces published—ranging from first-person essays to travel pieces to more journalistic subjects—in newspapers, magazines, and online. 

His self-published book on finding and cultivating your writer’s voice, Think Like a Writer: How to Write the Stories You See was published in 2015. He would like you to pour him a Manhattan right at five.
