About
Daniel Handler was born in San Francisco, California. He is an American novelist and screenwriter. He has published adult novels under his real name; his first book The Basic Eight was rejected by many publishers for its dark subject matter. His most recent book is We Are Pirates. Watch Your Mouth, his second novel, was completed before The Basic Eight was published. Handler was involved in the screenwriting process for the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, but was ultimately removed from the project.
