Dan Schreiber is a regular columnist and former editor at Smile Politely.com, a Champaign-Urbana, IL web magazine. His essays have appeared in Dreamseeker Magazine, The Mennonite, Geez Magazine, and Wunderkammer. Since 2006, he has written extensively about culture, religion, politics and parenting on his blog, “Musings of a Minor Mennonite.” He also writes occasional movie reviews and blogs about Roger Ebert’s Overlooked Film Festival.

In 2008, he was awarded third place in the Associated Christian Press' “Best of Christian Press” (humor category). He has also received a number of editor’s picks at Open Salon.com.
