During grad school, I moonlighted as a film blogger for FilmSchoolRejects and Nonfics. While I no longer write regularly for the web, I continue to pursue mass outlets, popular sites, and scholarly blogs in order to reach beyond the audiences of academic publications. Here is a sampling of what I've done.
