The Diary of an Uber Driver
Stories from the Backseat of American Life
I have driven for Uber and Lyft for 12 years, first around Boston and now in Maine. Along the way I kept a journal in the back seat, and my riders wrote in it.
That turned into 3 things.
-
The pitch
A proposed book and a screenplay, with sample pages.
-
The blog
Stories from the road. I have enough research and rider journal entries to write 500 to 1,000 of them over the coming years.
-
The Kickstarter
A campaign I set up during the pandemic. I have not launched it.
-
Recipes from riders
46 recipes riders wrote by hand in the In-Car Journal, each as a recipe card you can open, with the handwritten page beside it.
What do you think?
Is this something you would want to see? Would you back it, through Kickstarter or some other way? Tell me straight. Your comment is posted on this page for others to read.
