Other Writing

I have a book! It’s called Movie Title Typos. It’s a silly book of jokes about movies that resulted from going viral on the internet in 2014. I did a book signing at New York Comic Con, Robert Downey Jr. shared a link to this very website, I was on the front page of Reddit for weeks, it was a wild 15 minutes of fame.

Early on in my career, I reviewed video games off and on for a few outlets, including Gamespot.com, GamesRadar.com and CinemaBlend.com. Yep, I was payed to play video games. Most of the time it was as fun as it sounds. The best part was discovering gems like Locke’s Quest or MySims Racing that I wouldn’t have otherwise played.

I was a small business news reporter once. I don't have most of the articles I wrote because I wrote them before the paper put stories online, and now that newspaper exists purely as an AI tabloid (RIP The Mecklenburg Times). My beat was small businesses, sustainability, and some local government.

While at the paper I won a North Carolina Press Association award for a profile I wrote about a book store created and run by a young man with down syndrome. I’m very proud of the story, but of course, it’s not available online. Neither is the award, but the printed certificate they mailed me for third place in profile writing says: "Tirst Place: Sports Writing." Sigh.

I also served as an editor for a teen magazine right after grad school. I did a little bit of everything on our tiny staff. Notable moments include interviewing Taylor Swift, talking to that guy from High School Musical (no, not that dude, the other one, with the hair), and getting turned down by Johnny Depp's very nice publicist.
