Lawrence Everett Forbes joins the long list of mediabistro students to publish in The New York Times' Modern Love column. His essay, "A Brother as Significant as Any Other," explores the relationship of a pair of gay and straight siblings. Mediabistro's connection to Modern Love goes back to the inaugural column, written by instructor and man-about-town Steve Friedman.

During his mediabistro class, Lawrence wrote an essay about the effects of his spinal surgery on his family. It was published on Newsweek.com.

Lawrence is currently polishing up his first memoir, which has attracted the attention of literary agents. Meanwhile, check out his blog, "Notes of a Bourgeois Dork".
