Timeline

1986

Daniel M. Lavery (born Mallory Ortberg, November 28, 1986) is an American author and editor.

2009

While a student, Lavery appeared on Jeopardy!, Show #5816 of Monday, December 21, 2009, and finished in third place.

Lavery has credited the work of Shirley Jackson and her novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle, in particular, and John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress as influential.

Lavery wrote for Gawker and The Hairpin.

2013

Through this work he met Nicole Cliffe, with whom he operated The Toast, a feminist general interest web site, from July 2013 to July 2016.

2014

He is known for having co-founded the website The Toast, and written the books Texts from Jane Eyre (2014), The Merry Spinster (2018), and Something That May Shock and Discredit You (2020).

Lavery's first book, Texts from Jane Eyre, was released in November 2014 and became a New York Times bestseller.

The book was based on a column he wrote first at The Hairpin, then continued at The Toast, which imagines well-known literary characters exchanging text messages.

The premise was inspired by a comments section thread on a piece Cliffe had written for The Awl; on Cliffe's review of Gone With the Wind, a commentator wrote that his or her experience in the South was nearly identical to the novel "except everybody has cell phones".

This prompted him to imagine how Scarlett O'Hara might have used a cell phone.

2015

He was included in the 2015 Forbes "30 under 30" list in the media category.

On November 9, 2015, Slate announced he would take over the magazine's "Dear Prudence" advice column from Emily Yoffe.

He stopped writing the column in May 2021.

2016

He wrote Slate's "Dear Prudence" advice column from 2016 to 2021.

From 2022-2023, he hosted a podcast on Slate titled Big Mood, Little Mood.

2017

In 2017, he started a paid e-mail newsletter on Substack titled Shatner Chatner, renamed to The Chatner in 2021.

Born Mallory Ortberg, Lavery grew up in northern Illinois and then San Francisco, one of three children of the evangelical Christian author and former Menlo Church pastor John Ortberg and Nancy Ortberg, who is also a pastor and the CEO of Transforming the Bay with Christ.

He attended Azusa Pacific University, a private, evangelical Christian university in California.

In 2017, he launched Shatner Chatner, a paid e-mail newsletter on Substack.

On May 19, 2021, Lavery accepted a Substack Pro deal and shortened the newsletter's name to The Chatner.

2018

Lavery's first comic one-shot, entitled Rick and Morty Presents: Krombopulos Michael, was published by Oni Press on June 20, 2018, following the Rick and Morty character of the same name.

A short story collection, The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror (Henry Holt, 2018), appeared in 2018.

The book, his second release, was highly anticipated, with Publishers Weekly, Bustle, The A.V. Club and InStyle Australia included in their lists of forthcoming titles in 2018.

The Merry Spinster reinvents fairy tales such as Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast; in the Los Angeles Times, Agatha French described his renderings as making the "stories both weirder and yet somehow more familiar".

In February 2018, he spoke to Autostraddle about the process of gender transitioning while writing The Merry Spinster.

In March 2018, he was interviewed by Heather Havrilesky in New York magazine's The Cut about coming out as transgender.

In November 2018, he and his girlfriend Grace Lavery, an associate professor of English at U.C. Berkeley and "the most followed transgender scholar in the world on social media" including Twitter and Instagram, announced their intention to marry.

2019

They were married on December 22, 2019.

2020

Lavery's third book, a memoir entitled Something That May Shock and Discredit You, was published in February 2020 by Simon & Schuster.

It was originally published as individual essays.

Lavery identifies as queer.
