Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Front-page reporter at The Hustler—no, not that one—my college newspaper at Vanderbilt.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Sadly, no.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Henry Hackett from The Paper, and Miranda Priestly comes in at a close second!

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To be curious of everything and to want to tell everybody about it.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email is best, but a follow-up call is an appreciated reminder.

What's your favorite social network?

It's a tie between Instagram and Pinterest.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime. However, seasonal pitches are best 2-4 months out.
