Larry F. Sommers

Larry F. Sommers lives quite comfortably in the past and has no pLarrySommers_4R300ppi_AdobeRGBlans to move, thank you very much! Life in the present is way too advanced for him.

Fully retired from a long career as a magazine editor and a government communicator, he now struggles mightily to write screenplays, short stories, and the occasional personal essay, and is beginning to work on a historical novel.

Larry has written nine feature-length screenplays and several shorts, none of them yet produced although they have enjoyed some success in contests. At present he is concentrating on prose fiction.

Two of his nostalgic stories about Izzy Mahler, a young boy growing up in the 1950s, have been published online by the Saturday Evening Post. “Those Old Siberian Blues,” an unromantic exposé of life with a dog, appeared in the Winter 2016-2017 issue of Fetch! (“Wisconsin’s No. 1 Free Dog Publication”). Several more short stories are in various stages of development and submission.

Larry is a member of the Wisconsin Screenwriters Forum, the International Screenwriters Association, and a screenwriters’ mutual support group called “OYOS.”

He and his wife, Joelle, live in Madison, where they shepherd two grandchildren, 60,000 honey bees, and a woebegone Siberian husky.
