Biography

Joel H. Cohen is a highly accomplished and esteemed Canadian writer, whose remarkable career has been marked by his significant contributions to numerous influential and iconic television programs.

Joel's familial bond to the realm of television writing is deeply rooted in his relationship with his elder sibling, Robert Cohen, a seasoned writer who has made a lasting impact on the world of television, most notably through his work on the iconic animated series "The Simpsons". As the younger brother of this accomplished writer, Joel has been exposed to the creative process and the inner workings of the television industry from a young age, allowing him to develop a profound appreciation for the craft.

Joel's life story began in the vibrant city of Calgary, nestled in the heart of Alberta, Canada, where he first drew breath and embarked on a path that would ultimately lead him to academic triumph. As the years passed, Joel's intellectual curiosity and thirst for knowledge continued to grow, propelling him towards a Bachelor of Science degree at the prestigious University of Alberta. In 1988, Joel's hard work and dedication culminated in the attainment of this esteemed degree, a momentous occasion that marked a significant milestone in his academic journey and set the stage for the many achievements that would follow.

Notably, in addition to his significant contributions to the iconic animated television series The Simpsons, Sam Cohen has also ventured into the realm of literary pursuits, penning a fascinating non-fiction book titled "How to Lose a Marathon". This engaging narrative chronicles his personal odyssey, recounting his arduous training regimen and eventual participation in the illustrious New York City Marathon.

Joel's fascinating life story was first made available to the public on April 4, 2017, when his book "How to Lose a Marathon" was published by Abrams, a renowned publishing house. The book, which was later transformed into an engaging audiobook by Audible, offers readers a captivating glimpse into Joel's extraordinary life, highlighting his unwavering dedication, unshakeable perseverance, and impressive writing abilities.
