Joshua Pruett is the only human being on Earth to have written for both MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 and DOCTOR WHO.
Currently working on the widely anticipated return of Disney's PHINEAS AND FERB, Joshua is perhaps best known for his work as a TV Writer on MILO MURPHY'S LAW, the original feature for Disney Plus, PHINEAS AND FERB THE MOVIE: CANDACE AGAINST THE UNIVERSE and THE LAST KIDS ON EARTH, the Emmy-Award Winning Netflix animated series. Joshua headed back to the Last Kids universe in Spring 2023, co-writing the NYT bestselling graphic novel, THE LAST COMICS ON EARTH, with Max Brallier, the first of four books, illustrated by Jay Cooper and Douglas Holgate.
Joshua's first solo middle grade series, GYRO AND THE ARGONAUTS, pitched as 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to Greek Mythology,' a revisionist take on classical myths where the monsters become the heroes they were always meant to be, recently sold to Andrews McMeel Kids, and will hit bookstores and libraries Summer 2025!.

2024 TVWI Stay Awhile: Scenes from Temecula Valley Anthology Project
UPDATE (5/01/24): We have received almost all of the final submissions from our writers and illustrators - with just a few stragglers left - and are beginning the last editorial review of content for the anthology. The next step will be sign-offs and layout! We're getting close, people! The leadership team of TVWI and the editorial committee of the anthology project are astounded at the talent level and creativity from our participating members. This is going to be an amazing and breathtaking two-volume collection when we finally hit the finish line this summer! Check back here for more updates as we complete the steps towards completion.
If you are a writer or illustrator who missed out on this anthology project, please stay tuned. We have exciting new projects launching in the next few months. And, as always, we definitely want to hear any creative ideas you might have as well! Don't be shy about reaching out.
