I’m an independent publicist and married woman. You can read a semi-accurate profile of me in the New York Times. You can read about my wedding in the New York Post or New York magazine. (My husband lives in France.) I love when people report on me. I used to be a writer. You can read some of my fact-filled fiction writing in n+1 here, here, and here. I also wrote this. If you don’t like reading, stalk me here.

Now I write gift guides. It’s my hobby. I published my first gift guide on November 24th, 2020, for Spike (a German art magazine). I didn’t like being edited, so I started to publish them on Google docs. You can read an old Google doc gift guide here. Emily Sundberg interviewed me about it here. Air Mail published excerpts from my Gift Guides here & here. Past contributors to my Gift Guides include Lorde, Cecily Brown, Ina Garten, George Condo, Daphne Merkin, Merve Emre, Jamaica Kinkaid, Lauren Oyler, Francine Prose, Alison Roman, Susan Orlean, Emma Cline, Susan Miller, Olivia Nuzzi, Nell Zink, David Rimanelli, Jane Adams (the great American actress), Moira Hodgson, Richard Hell’s lover, etc. A typical recommendation from me: the best real estate agent in Litchfield County, plastic tick removers (stocking stuffers!), and the artwork of the elusive Contessa di Alicudi Schifanoja i.e. Roberto Longo. Not to be confused with Robert Longo.

That being said, I think Gift Guide, the publication, isn’t a series of trendy holiday-oriented gift guides. I’ll leave that to the magazines. It’s something a bit more discursive and fun. How better to put this? I’m not writing think pieces, I’m linking to things.
