Joseph Fink

Joseph Fink is renowned for the live show and podcast Welcome to Night Vale which he created and at the same time co-wrote with Jeffrey Cranor. He is from California but currently he is not staying there. He lives in New York together with his wife. Joseph Fink started a very small book publishing company called Commonplace Books. This he started at the age of twenties and he was able to produce his short works in two collections. Fink became tricky and edited the short works without the awareness of his boss and he laid it out at his office. His collaboration with Jeffrey Cranor came about when Jeffrey approached him to ask if they could write a play about time travel. It is from here that the two were able to co-write the play which they performed at the East Village in the year 2011, August. This did not become the end of Joseph’s career in writing short works since afterwards he was able to co-write with Jeffrey even more play. It is from this collaboration that they were able to come up with the Welcome to Night Vale.
