As a novelist, Kreizman is particularly famous for his debut work called The Year They Fell. He is now looking forward to writing many more novels in the coming years and extending his career as a novelist.

Kreizman hopes to achieve as much success as an author as he has achieved by writing for TV shows, and maybe more than that. He feels extremely proud to know that his debut novel has worked very well and received excellent reviews from various critics and reviews all over the world. Kreizman claims that he will be forever grateful to such critics, fellow writers, and readers who have helped in making his first novel a worldwide success. Before making his entry into the world of TV soap opera writing, Kreizman completed his graduation from Virginia University. In 2013, he was appointed as World Wrestling Entertainment’s head writer. Kreizman followed it up with founding Gen Z Media. During the late 1990s, he was employed in the writing team of Guiding Light for CBS Daytime.

In 2004, Ellen Wheeler promoted him to the position of the show’s Head Writer. Wheeler was newly appointed as the Executive Producer at that time. After this promotion, Kreizman took the place of writer Ellen Weston. His age was much talked about at the time of his appointment to the Head Writer position as he was just 29 years old. In 2009, CBS offered him the chance to work another of its shows called As the World Turns. But, the show was canceled at the last moment following which Kreizman was asked to become the Co-Head Writer of another show called All My Children a few months later. Kreizman performed his duties in this position for around a year, along with Donna Swajeski before being replaced with another pair. A number of new stories were introduced in Guiding Light during the tenure of Kreizman.

The most notable one among them was the introduction of Jonathan Randall as the illegitimate son of Reva Lewi. This character proved to be too volatile and darker than many other characters. There were several controversies associated with the show due to the depiction of Jonathan Randall’s illegitimate relationships within the family. Despite Guiding Light’s record-low viewership during its May 2008 and June 2009 run, the writing team under the leadership of Kreizman went on to win the Daytime Emmy Award. During the show’s later runs, the production house had adopted a new production model. Therefore, it was difficult to make out what effect did Kreizman’s writing have on the show’s final rating. However, the viewers had divided opinion on this matter and most of them continued to credit Kreizman for the show’s success. As of now, Kreizman has shifted his focus towards novel writing and wishes to continue doing it for some more time. He wants to test his capability in the field of novel writing and find out how well he can do and for how long.
