His journalism has been picked up byThe Associated Press and The Sunday Times of London, among others. Edward co-wrote the film A Little Trip to Heaven, a psychological thriller starring Forest Whitaker, Jeremy Renner and Julia Stiles, which screened at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Edward earned his MFA in writing, literature and publishing from Emerson College in Boston.

“Edward Weinman’s novel is a hell of a trip—and a trip to Hell—through the unique landscape of Iceland and the no-less peculiar inner lives of some of its more colorful inhabitants (because, surely, Icelanders cannot all be this f**ked-up). A gripping tale laced with dark twisted humor, I couldn’t put it down. A Nordic Noir not for the faint of heart.” - Ro Cuzon, author of Under the Dixie Moon and Under the Carib Sun.
