Nice to meet you! I’m a writer based in New York.
What do you get when you cross an English major with a pop-culture geek? Following a passion for film, social justice, and technology writing, I became an associate editor for The Mary Sue in 2015 and then an assistant editor in 2017. I’ve also written about movies for Bitch Flicks and Film Inquiry, news at LGBTQ Nation, and virtual reality at GearBrain. I’ve also written about travel and culture at Roads & Kingdoms and On She Goes.
I bring thoughtful analysis and puns to the table (along with healthy doses of existential dread). You can find me over on Twitter @charlinejao. I am currently in a PhD program and not doing any freelance writing.
If you’re feeling especially generous, you can buy me a coffee. Thanks for stopping by!
