I am a writer living in Los Angeles. My work has appeared in The Believer, Salon, NPR Books, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Peace Corps Writers and other outlets.
After graduating from the University of Michigan, I spent two years teaching youth groups in Peace Corps Guatemala. Moving to New York City, I worked as an investigative reporter at Judicial Reports and a publishing blogger for Know More Media.
I now serve as the publishing editor at Mediabistro, where I edit the GalleyCat and AppNewser blogs. OR Books will publish my first book, “Will Write for Change: How New York City Writers Survived the Great Depression.”
This blog is named after a line from the great Ben Linus during the final season of Lost–it was so cheesy, ridiculous, and wonderful that I laughed right in the middle of the episode: “But we have History Club today. Those kids need me!” Photo by Coy Gutierrez.
