Interview
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
E-mail with a subject line that makes it clear you're not spamming me about a watch, a furniture company, or research unrelated to parenting.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
Unlined notebook. Sharpie. Squarespace. Unsplash. Scrivener. Mailchimp.
What's your favorite social network?
Instagram. It's nice to put the pen down every once in a while and just enjoy beautiful photos.
Who do you wish followed you?
Emily Oster, my hero in sane pregnancy research.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
No. Yearbook ruled!
When's the best time to pitch you?
First thing Monday morning, when I'm most ambitious about responding to e-mails.
What's your favorite drink?
The Last Word.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
On the floor playing with Thomas Trains (and a three-year-old).
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
The Sunday New York Times. In print. With a pen for the crossword.
