FYI per emails: I am sr features editor at the Rumpus & a contributing editor at Catapult. In both positions, I solicit writers & content. I& #39;m always open to writers who have done the work, including research on propriety, & already know I& #39;m not into what& #39;s already been said.

You& #39;d be surprised at the number of writers who do not want feedback, and just want the byline. There are plenty of editors who reciprocate that kind of relationship, but I& #39;m not them.

I want better writers in the world. I try to do that in every editorial relationship I form.

Editorial work, at the level I go, is an act of love, really. A form of my activism. I ask questions for your consideration & end everything with, "That ok?"

It& #39;s your narrative & I& #39;m invested on making it the best possible telling possible. In the end, though, it& #39;s your voice.

So, if you& #39;re down with this & you& #39;ve got a burning essay in you, hit me up.

5 tips on pitching me:
1. I& #39;m not into what& #39;s already been said.
2. Be clear.
3. Be clear even & especially in your questions.
4. Say what you need to say.
5. I& #39;m not into what& #39;s already been said.
