I’m a writer, and a former senior editor at Real Life magazine. Before that, I was a founding editor of Hazlitt, a deputy editor at The Hairpin, and an associate editor at The Walrus. I’ve written for The Believer, New York Magazine, The New Republic, The New York Times Magazine, and as a weekly arts columnist for the Globe and Mail. My work has been anthologized in a few collections including Best Canadian Essays 2020 and 2012.

I publish a newsletter/essay series called Crush Material, and I’m currently writing a book about crushes, crushing, being crushed. My literary agent is Isabel Mendía at The Cheney Agency.
