ⓘ About David Rensin

David Rensin is a memoir fiction novelist who is best known for the novels that he worked on with Louis Zamperini and several other authors. At one point, his mother handed him a “Playboy” magazine that belonged to his father and surprisingly, he would spend much of his later career at the magazine. It was while he was working for “Rolling Stone” that he had his first epiphany about his niche and style when he was taken to task by an editor over a story he had been working on. He used to write three paragraphs of quotes and two lines of description but his editor told him that to make things flow, it needed to be two lines of quotes and three paragraphs of exposition.
