About William

I am William James Cornhoff. A writer from Solon, Ohio. Founding member of the Britney Army. Proud card-carrying member of the Beyhive. And, because of a bar fight in Tijuana, an honorary member of the Southern California chapter of the Hells Angels. Allegedly.

I tell stories about the messy, complicated parts of being human. The ones we are usually taught to hide. Sometimes they’re heartbreaking. Sometimes they’re funny. Usually they’re both.

I Hate Myself. I Feel Crazy. A Comeback Story. is my debut memoir.

I wrote it as an act of healing for myself and for anyone who’s ever felt alone. Like they didn’t belong here. Like death felt like the only way to make the pain stop.
