At age ten, Jodi Lustig was shocked to discover that we’d never had a woman President. So she set out to save the country from its sexist self and do it herself. Then she did the math and realized even if she could somehow make it to thirty-five without committing a major felony, an older wiser woman would undoubtedly get there first.

Now she is simply grateful there are no time travelers eager to spoil the sad cold Madam Presidential truth.

She has been a freelance writer her entire adult life, working in publishing before receiving her doctorate in English Language & Literature at NYU. She has long since abandoned efforts to force any ornery old bosses to call her Dr. Lustig. They must simply bow or curtsey.

Her half-hour television pilot MAD HADLEY was a finalist for the Stowe Story Labs Maven Screen Media Fellowship.
