Career

Rotter wrote his first novel, Duck Duck Wally, which was published by Simon & Schuster [3] in 2008. The novel "...pays entertaining dividends in this slapstick send-up of show business in general and hip-hop in particular,” commented a Kirkus Reviews critic. [4] A Publishers Weekly reviewer noted that “Rotter’s a talented writer.” Booklist called the book "Clever and funny." [5]

In 2010, Rotter published his second novel from Simon & Schuster, titled The Human Bobby. Booklist described the book as "An oddly constructed novel, but an oddly endearing one, too, with a protagonist you can’t help rooting for." [6]

In 2014 Rotter produced a television pilot for Amazon called The After, which was written and directed by Chris Carter. [7]

In 2015 Rotter was a writer/producer on 20th Century Fox Television's 6-episode revival of The X-Files. [8]
