James Fell has written columns for the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Chatelaine, and AskMen. He has also written for TIME Magazine, NPR, Guardian, Men’s Health, and Women’s Health.

After a dozen years of writing about fitness and motivation, he suddenly switched genres to begin writing about history, a subject for which he has a master’s degree, in a sweary and sarcastic manner. Much to his surprise, it proved immensely popular, instantly garnering millions of readers each month. He continues to post history stories daily on his Facebook page (@BodyForWife) and is one of the most popular writers on Substack at JamesFell.Substack.com.
