Ed Sherman was born in Hannibal, Missouri in 1938, graduated from Boalt Hall School of Law in 1964 and was admitted to the California Bar in 1965. He founded Nolo Press — and the entire legal self-help movement. His books include How to Do Your Own Divorce in California, Practical Divorce Solutions, How To Do Your Own Contested Divorce in California (the title was later changed to How to Solve Divorce Problems in California), How to Do Your Own Divorce in Texas, Legal Essentials for California Couples, Make any Divorce Better, and The Couples Contract for a Lasting Relationship. For the 2016 update of How to Solve Divorce Problems in California (the 14th edition) Sherman changed the title to How to Manage a Contested Divorce in California and added two more authors (Hamid Naraghi and Bill Woodcock).

In 1989 Sherman founded Divorce Helpline. Through his divorce books and software he is able to share the secrets and lessons learned from over 40 years of experience. He lives in San Luis Obispo, CA.
