I have some news, which is so exciting and also incredibly bittersweet for obvious reasons. I sold my second book to Hachette Books/Running Press in December!! It’s on DAWSON’S CREEK in honor of its forthcoming 30th anniversary, which I began working on last summer ✨✨

this is a fucking insane decision in a string of fresh-hell high-profile layoffs this week. Spanos gone from RS. Adam B Vary gone from Variety. Loads more earlier this year. Non-fawning entertainment journalism is just not going to be a thing any more I guess???
