Ken Chowder has scripted over 20 documentary films (and one feature film) broadcast
on PBS, NBC, TBS, Discovery, A & E, and BBC, and has published three novels to glittering reviews.
His
credits include seven films for PBS' The American Experience, one American Masters, and
seven National Geographic films. His films have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary, won the Columbia/DuPont Prize,
and been named Best Documentary or Best History Film at many festivals, including the American
Film Festival. He's written (in part or whole) fifteen proposals that succeeded in getting scripting or production funding, or both, from the N.E.H.
His articles have seen the light of print in Smithsonian, Audubon, Travel & Leisure, The New York Times Sophisticated Traveler, American Heritage, Modern Maturity, The New York Times, Geo, The [London] Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Geographical magazine, and even Reader's Digest.
His three novels were all published by Harper & Row — one is in Penguins, another was given the Harper-Saxton Prize, and a
third was an Editors' Choice book at the New York Times and Washington
Post. Extravagant reviews can be glimpsed on the Fiction page of this site.
