<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I moved to New York in 1993 from my hometown of Peoria, Illinois. I'm a writer who has written for Time Out New York, Manhattan Spirit, <a href="http://www.gadflyonline.com/archive/JulyAugust00/archive-curly.html">Gadfly magazine</a>, Nerve magazine (the one that Legs McNeil edited, not that online thingy), Manhattan Mirror, NY Press and the Pekin Daily Times among others.</strong></p>

The magazine was a best seller in Peoria, Illinois and was written up in Spin magazine, Advertising Age and the Chicago Tribune.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I was the editor, publisher and primary writer for my magazine <a href="http://www.themartywombachershow.com/product/2009/2/23/fishwrap-magazine.html">fishwrap</a> which ridiculed the world of mainstream magazines from 1993 to 2000. The magazine got positive press from Spin, <a href="http://www.nypress.com/article-4769-marty-wombachers-fishwrap-is-worth-looking-for-wake-up-down-there_-compiles-gregory-bishops-the-excluded-middle.html">NY Press</a>, Sassy, the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Men's Journal, <a href="http://www.citypaper.net/articles/072398/20q.shtml">Philadelphia City Paper,</a> NY Post, Peoria Journal Star and the <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/1995/07/31/1995-07-31_it_s_his_mag_mag_mag_mag_wor.html">NY Daily News</a> among others.</strong></p>
