A graduate of the MFA program in creative writing at the University of Michigan, Lemire is the author of several books, including I’m An English Major—Now What? (Writer’s Digest), which Slate.com rated as #1 among all available career guides, calling it “by far the most useful, as well as the most fun to read.”
His illustrations have appeared on the back page of The New York Times Book Review, and his comic FEST is a regular feature in MOTIF magazine.
A serial run of FEST, “True Tales of Rhode Islanders,” is in the permanent collection of both the Providence Athenaeum Library and the Harris Collection of American Poetry and Plays at Brown University.
While an undergraduate at Boston College, Lemire co-founded The Contemporary Theatre of Boston College, starring in several plays. The troupe is still in operation today, 38 years later.
Lemire’s other interests include family research, making podcasts, and playing music.
