Randy Sumeraj is a part-time book editor and occasional freelance writer. For money, he works as a waiter. A long-time student of Elizabethan drama, English Literature, and Film, Randy began pursuing a career as a screenwriter three years ago. His unproduced credits include Smokescreen, a feature-length, time-shifting crime/thriller, and a pair of television projects: In the Weeds, a comedy/drama about life in the restaurant business, and, with Jake Gagnon, Daydreams, an adult-oriented Vampire serial.
Born in Montreal, Randy now lives in Toronto with his wife of thirteen years, Sue Sumeraj, who is a freelance book editor, and their cat, Antigone, who is not.
Randy owes everything to the never-ending support of his family (Mom, Dad, Wendy and Susie), a close-knit group of good friends, and every teacher he has known in his life. He owes a particular debt of gratitude to two high school English teachers: Mrs. Wrathall, who taught him that some things really should be taken seriously to be appreciated, and Mr. Marcon, whose interpretation of Robertson Davies’ Fifth Business changed the way Randy thought about writing.
