I'm a former writer at CultureSlate who still wants to be writing pop culture news and other articles in my own way with my own freedoms, taking ownership of my work. I hope you'll enjoy.

I enjoy the way in which they put out all kinds of interesting takes on the news of the day about film and television news.
