Danny Katz

Danny Katz
Danny Katz is a columnist for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. He writes the Modern Guru column in the Good Weekend magazine. He is the author of Spit the Dummy, M.O.T.H.E.R, Dork Geek Jew, and many books for kids including the Little Lunch series.

Danny is originally from Canada, but came to Australia at a young age because he was allergic to maple syrup. After studying an arts degree in theatre studies he tried a career in music theatre and then a career in stand-up comedy. After failing at both of those careers, he finally stumbled into writing and that’s where he plans to stay. Danny lives in Melbourne with his wife, Mitch Vane, and their two kids.
