Bio
My name is Dennis Cass and I want you to be more awesome.
I’m a writer and a teacher and a guy who sometimes gets on a stage where there is a microphone and says things into the microphone.
My work has appeared in Harper’s Magazine, the New York Times Magazine, GQ, Mother Jones, and the online journal Slate.
My first book, HEAD CASE: How I Almost Lost My Mind Trying to Understand My Brain (HarperCollins), is out in paperback.
I’ve taught creative nonfiction at Carleton College and judged the Literary Death Match.
This blog represents a period in my life when I was trying to help emerging writers and artists make sense of how technology was changing both making the work and getting attention for making the work.
Dennis,
I think it was your desire for me to reach the apogee of my personal awesomeness that kick-started my quest just this red-hot minute for galactic awesomeness domination.
Many years from now, my awsome progeny (that is inhabiting more planets than even Tom Cruise’s) will ask themselves: “just when did great-great-great to the tenth power grandpa kevin start his awsomeness quest?
The answer won’t be found in the stars or the six multi-colored eyes of their children. It will be found somewhere in this awsome environment Al Gore (god bless his holy name) invented; The Internet.

Congratulations on your Moby. I was at the Awards last night and “Book Launch 2.0″ was the hands-down show stealer for me. Thanks for making me laugh at my angsty self-promo pain and for being, dare I say it…awesome.
