As a teenager growing up in Wisconsin, I worked on a local produce farm. My rural farmer-employer’s statement that I would be “pickin’ plantin’ and plowin’ pickles and eating green pole beans right off the stalk” for the rest of my life inspired me to get the hell outta the Midwest and make my way to NYC to live my dream of being a writer.
I have published personal and political essays, profiles, interviews, reviews and features in various genres. I am currently a freelance Contributing Editor at Curve Magazine where I publish features about travel, books, fashion, food, music, culture, and politics. My memoir, Beautiful Wreck: Sex, Lies & Suicide, was published in September 2012. You can read more about this project by clicking on the link below: |
