  5. The pseudonym came as a result of research Handler had to do for The Basic Eight. He used it to contact right-wing organizations to get pamphlets and learn their dogma.

  11. Susan Rich, an editor at Harper Collins, came up with the idea. Handler has been quoted as saying "... and my reaction was that I couldn't write for children because children's books are such crap. She pointed out that if a lot of my writing for adults was fueled by rage at what was going on in adult fiction, it might actually work the same way with children's books. And it has." Why he writes children books

  12. What He Thinks About Children “But if a nine-year-old is reading your books over and over, and wants to talk about them with you, it's actually charming,” Daniel Handler spoke.
