Broke-Ass Stuart

Young, Broke and Beautiful.

About Me

I write books.

I did a book called "Broke-Ass Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco." When it was a zine, it got voted Best of the Bay by the SF Bay Guardian twice. So, I guess people like it. I got a book deal so my first SF book is out on shelves right now. I'm currently in NY doing a Broke-Ass Stuart book out here. Cool right?
