About

I'm the author of the New York Times bestseller MADHOUSE AT THE END OF THE EARTH, and a senior features editor at the Hollywood Reporter. I've worked in magazines for 20 years, with experience in both print and digital. I spearheaded Esquire's first tablet edition and was the co-recipient of the National Magazine Award in that category. Before that, I co-founded and ran Vanity Fair's entertainment blog, Little Gold Men, and helped develop several mobile apps for the magazine. As a freelance journalist, I write on a broad range of topics, from travel to politics, business to food. I've contributed to many publications, including Wired, The New Yorker, GQ, Billboard, and Playboy, for which I wrote a profile of a foie gras–obsessed Montreal chef that was anthologized in "The Best Food Writing of 2011"​ (Da Capo). I have a bachelor's degree in History from Harvard College. I grew up outside Paris and am bilingual in French and English.
