Tim Harrower has been an editor, designer and columnist at newspapers large (The Oregonian), midsized (The Rochester Times-Union) and small (the Times weeklies in Beaverton, Ore.). He became a journalist in the '80s after his first career choice -- rock 'n' roll superlegend -- fizzled out.
Harrower's first book, "The Newspaper Designer's Handbook," has been indispensable in newsrooms and classrooms around the world, translated into Russian, Chinese and Polish. His follow-up, "Inside Reporting," has been America's most popular news writing textbook, ranked #3 in Business Insider's list of all-time best journalism books.
His latest book is "The Dinosaur Owner's Manual," a children's book for adults, full of adorable illustrations and useful advice on the care and feeding of your pet dinosaur.
