About this author

edit data

J.D. Rothman, a former instructor of remedial freshman composition, is an Emmy-winning children's television writer, producer and lyricist. While on an eight-state college tour with her older son, she started the anonymous NeuroticParent blog, which was excerpted in "I'm Going to College, Not You" (St. Martins Press, 2010). Rothman grew up in Brooklyn, and resided in several Latin American countries before settling in Santa Monica, where she and her husband, a bassist in the Los Angeles Philharmonic, live in their emptying nest. She prepared for none of her careers in college.
