Two of my pieces from TransWorld magazine will be included in an anthology about skateboarding and the law entitled No Comply: Skateboarding Speaks On Authority.
The Buzz On Extreme Sports
May 5, 2005
I wrote two chapters on skateboarding for this book in 2000. It was my first writing gig ever and, I was super excited when I landed it. After getting a $150 check about eight months later, I realized I got ripped off.
Editorial Projects/Career Press
May 4, 2005
The following are book projects/manuscripts I worked on in their entirety while at Career Press as an editor. Some took days, others took months. Some were fun, some were boring as hell. In most of the books' "Acknowledgements" sections, the author would write something to the effect of: "Thanks to my editor Robert Brink for his atttention to detail" and/or "masterful editing" and/or or "making this book special." Some didn't acknowledge me at all. Pricks.
