My writing has featured in the Wall Street Journal, the BBC, Pitchfork, Red Bull Music Academy, the New York Press, Drowned in Sound, CMJ, and many others.

I am also an experienced copywriter who has written and edited content for the Writers Guild of America, Nielsen, Amazon, Yahoo, AOL, the iTunes store, and many other outlets.

Looking at the list below, many of them are now dead links. I will try to dig out the original files and upload them at a later date.
