-
- Parenting
Michael Venutolo-Mantovani is a freelance writer and regular contributor to The New York Times as well as many other nationally recognized publications. He is also a seasoned musician, husband and father.
Recently Michael started a sub stack newsletter about fatherhood. This newsletter consists of short letters about his journey through fatherhood. Make sure you click the link below to read it.
In 2017, Michael started writing full time. He frequently contributes to The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, The Guardian, The Toronto Star, Southern Living Magazine, The Bitter Southerner, Bicycling Magazine, The Millions, Victory Journal, and a bunch of others.
Before writing, Mike spent several years in a tour van, trudging around the country with his band, The Everymen, to the tune of over two-hundred shows a year. He also toured with bands like Fu Manchu, Son Volt, Mourn, and Yo La Tengo in various capacities.
Before that, Michael spent several years working at the New York City-based independent record label group Matador Records & The Beggars Group, where he got to work on album campaigns by some great musicians like Sonic Youth, Pavement, and Belle & Sebastian as well as some of the biggest independent bands and artists of today, such as Grimes, Vampire Weekend, the xx, and The National.
Before that, Michael taught English as a second language while meandering through ancient ruins and young manhood in Rome.
Even though Michael is a fairly new dad, he and his wife had to deal with trying to raise a young son and a brand new daughter during one of the most difficult times this country has faced with this pandemic. Michael is quickly learning how to navigate this fatherhood role with day by day decisions revolving around his children.
