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

For the past 12 years, I’ve written features, profiles, reviews, and personal essays 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 pop culture, lifestyles, feminism, and music.

I’m the editor of Madonna and Me, an anthology of essays about Madonna by women writers (March 2012, Soft Skull Press — pre-order 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).
