His debut novel, BEHIND THE FOURTH WALL, was published in January, 2022 by Black Rose Writing.

The book won second place in General Fiction in the PenCraft Book Awards, and was named a Finalist in the 19th Annual Best Book Awards 2022.
Mr. Solomowitz began his career writing scripts for Manhattan Cable TV and has written for Warner Bros. in Hollywood. For several years he was a freelance sports journalist and contributed dozens of articles to national and trade publications.
He is a Contributing Writer for several non-fiction books including Baseball and the Sultan of Swat: Babe Ruth at 100 (AMS Press), Where's Sandwich?, Postcards from the Pandemic, and is a member of the Authors Guild, the Cape Cod Writers Center, and Sandwich Arts Alliance.
He has also written and directed for the theater. His works include several full-length plays in addition to multiple one-act plays produced at the Northport One-Act Play Festival on Long Island, the Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans, Cape Cod, and the Night Flight Theater in Burbank, CA, among others. His Divine Comedy: A Farce, Parody, Satire & Spoof, an evening of four of his one-act plays, was produced in June, 2023 at the Curtain Call Theater outside of Boston.
