BIO

Hi! I’m a freelance writer, editor, and researcher.
I specialize in film and pop culture reference and history projects. My recent books have focused on bringing a character or time period to life with concise text but I also love long pieces that delve into the history of a film or project through interviews and research.
I was the Managing Editor
for the official guide for
Star Wars Celebration Anaheim (2022) and I'm a regular contributor to StarWars.com and Star Wars Insider. My work has also appeared on StarTrek.com and Nerdist.
My website See Classic Films celebrates film history (I worked for several years as a film preservationist) and helps fans find their favorite films in local theaters or online.
