I’m a San Francisco, California-based freelance writer and editor.

I edited Madonna & Me: Women Writers on the Queen of Pop, an anthology of essays about Madonna by women writers (March 2012; Soft Skull Press). Find it in your local bookstore or buy it here. I’m also the author of The End: 50 Apocalyptic Visions From Pop Culture That You Should Know About… Before It’s Too Late (coming in July 2012 from Zest Books).

Over the past 12 years, I’ve written freelance features, profiles, personal essays, and reviews for more than 40 publications, including Salon, The Chicago Sun-Times, CNN.com, the Village Voice, Time Out New York, AlterNet, BUST, ELLE Girl, and NYLON. My areas of expertise are culture, lifestyles, feminism, and music.
