I’ve worked as an Entertainment Editor at ELLEgirl and Teen People magazine, which basically means I got paid to listen to music, interview celebrities and watch movies (I know, hard gig). I can be found roaming the streets of Brooklyn, NY, listening to my iPod and singing to myself.

I’m a former ELLEgirl and Seventeen Prom editor who’s written for COSMOgirl!, Teen Vogue, Glamour, New York and other magazines. I’m the author of five young adult novels, including the Violet on the Runway trilogy, Lovestruck Summer and Small Town Sinners.

Melissa is my new work buddy. I don’t know much about her, except that we both think the adjectives “sweet” and “nice” are lame. Maybe that makes us bitches, but we’re nice bitches. But, this is the real reason why I think this girl is so cool – she works at a fashion mag, but drinks regular Coke and buys Mcdonald’s extra value meals. Now, that’s what I call a woman!

Anne is a good person to have around at work, mainly because she’ll spend hours discussing texting etiquette instead of transcribing her interview with the author/musician/actor du jour. She’s everything there is to like about people (quick-witted, hilarious, cute), plus she’s nonjudgmental (except of boring people) and she straightened my hair, like, the second day she knew me. In short: irresistible.
