WBEZ Public Radio held a panel at the 2012 Printers Row Lit Fest titled “Changes in Reading and Writing,” moderated by Booklist editor Donna Seaman. I was a panelist, along with J.C. Gabel and Wailin Wong.

In 2007, I co-founded the Chicago literary website Literago.org with Eugenia Williamson. It was born from two former booksellers’ frustration about stellar literary readings not receiving enough press/attention and the popular site reviewed—and eventually planned—literary events in the Chicago area. We had so much interest that we hired a team of volunteer editors, and sent them out to review several readings per week. Our launch was covered by the Chicago Reader, and we had a successful run from 2007-2011, during which we won accolades from Lonely Planet and were named one of the “great Chicago websites” by Chicago Magazine.

Had a blast being on a roundtable for Chicago's PBS station WTTW, talking with a few other authors and literary folk about the best books to give for the holiday season.

The BadatSports culture podcast interviewed the Literago.org founders about why we started the site and what we hoped to accomplish.
