Interview

What's your favorite social network?

Whichever one has the coolest people and the best content! This changes regularly.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

I'd have to say "The Current State of the Black Market". It had a punchy title, spoke about a hot-button issue in the art world, and was fun.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

You really just gotta go for it. Write articles, try and sell 'em, and go from there.
