Do I have any editorial contacts at a women's/lifestyle magazine that would want to get a pitch for a story about how dating apps mess with your self-esteem?

This would obviously be geared toward the over-40 demographic, but am open to one more general as well!

Thank you!

I took a much needed and necessary break from freelance writing for the last half of 2024, but while I have kicked off my search for a FT job, I am eager to once again take on some articles!

Editors, I have over 10 years of journalism experience in a variety of beats, with expertise & interest (1)

Laurent Bouzereau's documentary BECOMING HITCHCOCK: THE LEGACY OF BLACKMAIL (2024) uniquely explores filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock's early film contributions – foreshadowing the themes and styles that would later define his legendary status.

See the TCM Premiere tonight at 8pm ET.

VERY EXCITED that the trailer has FINALLY dropped for SPARTACUS: HOUSE OF ASHUR.

As a major fan of the original series (as always, much gratitude to Steven DeKnight), Nick Tarabay gave us the weasel we loved to hate.

Damn, I'm glad he's back.
