Copywriter, Columnist, Taurus
It's Mary Grace!
If we've yet to exchange pleasantries, think of me as a witchy Elle Woods-type of wordsmith. I bring wit, wisdom, and whatever enchantment is needed to tell a story.​​ Distilled further: I write. I ideate. I create.​
​I write everything from SEO-friendly articles to heavily reported features, from full-costume personal essays to press packet band bios. I’ve concepted full editorial packages and spearheaded relaunches for a major department store. I lovingly craft copy, columns, commerce—the limit does not exist.
​
Oh, and I know Photoshop. (I hear that’s a bonus.)

In and around Well+Good, Betches, Bustle, Elle Magazine, Bust Magazine, Paste Magazine, HelloGiggles, VinePair, Macy’s, and that one pizza place off the Bedford L. Let’s do this.

COLUMNS
BAD MOVIE REWATCH
Bustle
A snapshot (okay, several snapshots) of some of the most retrospectively incredulous films of all time, with some of the heavy-hitters graduating to sponsored posts for the site.
#RELATIONSHIPGOALS
HelloGiggles
A half sarcastic, half sentimental account of all the ways movies and television have forever ruined my romantic expectations. Lighthearted and sweet, barring the one time I came back from LA a broken woman (but we don't talk about that).
MORNING AFTER
Audiofemme
What are musicians like when they shed their night-cloaked on-stage personas? I work to find that out by navigating the Brooklyn scene and grabbing breakfast with them. Like a real-time "I'm With The Band" but with doc martens and Peter Pan donuts.
