About Me
I'm a journalist focusing on covering music and internet culture. I was previously a staff writer for The Verge and I've written for NME, Alternative Press, Billboard, VICE, Stereogum, Slate, and Kerrang!, as well as other publications. I cover rock, pop, indie, pop-punk, metalcore and TikTok, among other topics.
I also write fiction. My debut novel, Every Version Ends in Death, came out in 2023 and was nominated for the Shirley Jackson Award. You can find out more about the book here and read an extract here.
