McInerny’s writing career began in 2014 when the obituary she wrote with her husband Aaron went viral, revealing his true identity as Spider-Man and his cause of death as a radioactive spider bite that led to his demise from brain cancer.  Since then, she has published multiple novels including her memoir, It’s Okay to Laugh: (Crying is Cool Too), No Happy Endings, and The Hot Young Widows Club: Lessons on Survival from the Front Lines of Grief. McInerny is also the creator and host of the critically acclaimed podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking. McInerny’s next book, Bad Vibes Only, will be released in October 2022. 

Multi-hyphenate writer, actress and comedienne O’Brien is one of the creators, writers, and executive producers of hit comedy series Teachers, which ran for three seasons on TV Land. She previously wrote for Will Arnett- produced animated series Your Daily Horoscope, Jon Stewart’s HBO special Night of Too Many Stars and most recently the Disney+ upcoming limited series The Clauses, based on the 1994 Tim Allen movie The Santa Clause. She’s also appeared in Key and Peele sketches and Judd Apatow’s The Bubble. 

The trio are the first creators announced by the recently launched firm. They join Curate’s roster that includes Jac Schaeffer (Wandavision), Heidi Schreck (What The Constitution Means To Me), Our Lady J (Transparent, Pose), Laura Eason (Three Women), Oren Uziel (The Lost City), Emily Carmichael (Jurassic World Dominion), Sarah Lampert (Ginny and Georgia) and Emily St. John Mandel (Station 11).
