My short fiction and essays have appeared in places including McSweeney’s, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, and Salon, and in the anthologies Literary Mama: Reading for the Maternally Inclined and It’s a Girl: Women Writers on Raising Daughters. I worked as an entertainment journalist for eight years for MSN.com and sold a setup to a major network for a sitcom episode that no one will ever see.

Before becoming a journalist and prose writer, I studied screenwriting at Emerson College. My hobbies include talking about writing, hiking while thinking about writing, and worrying about how I’m not writing when I’m not writing.

I like dogs, the color orange, and whenever someone makes coffee.
