Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I've probably pecked around on one at some point, but it's never been a part of my life because I'm not insufferable.

What's your favorite social network?

ask.fm because I like being bullied by middle schoolers.

Who do you wish followed you?

When I'm going into the dark, Ben Gibbard.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Always be writing something, even if it's unpaid early on, and have a strong web presence. Work hard and stand out.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

I got an email once with this actual subject line: "Hey bro, its me [redacted]! Remember? We went to that Channing Tatum movie together."

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

R.I.P. Grantland.
