Lev played a major role in shaping a new national model of response to acts of hate- related violence and vandalism, leading to the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision upholding the Civil Rights Act of the United States.

M. Lev’s improvisational bedtime stories for his own children formed the treasure trove of content for the national education company he founded. The Imaginitis Learning System (“Learning is a team sport”) has been used in school systems across the nation.

M. Lev’s first novel, published in 1986, was a National Book Club selection. Following its publication, he decided not to submit any additional works of fiction for publication.
