About

NOTE: Please do not approach me for any jobs involving generative AI.Hi! I’m Kara, and my niece thinks my job is cool. I have 18+ years of experience in mainstream and niche journalism, both as an editor and a news and features writer. I’m currently a staff writer for Crunchyroll, Otaku USA (print and web), and previously wrote for Sci-Fi Magazine (where I was in charge of the book review column as well). I’ve also got previous bylines at Mashable, Fanbyte, and quite a lot of others, where I make deep dives into fandom and pop culture.Technically and allegedly I’m also a fiction writer, with short stories and novels published through Obverse, Titan Books, 18thWall, and more. There are several works to my name in the Doctor Who expanded universe but I can’t remember all of them at this point. I’ve won an award for a short story, but more importantly I once saw a book I was in for sale in the Forbidden Planet in Glasgow.Somewhere in the middle is my critical work, including my book on “Heaven Sent” for the Black Archive series (with others to come).Books include:* Associates of Sherlock Holmes (contributor)* City of the Saved: Tales of the Civil War (contributor)* Stranger Tales of the City (contributor)* Vanishing Tales of the City* Black Archive #21: Heaven Sent* Pizza Parties and Poltergeists (contributor)* Sockhops and Seances (contributor)* The Chronosmith Chronicles #2: Eleanor's TearsThe boring bit: I worked at a mainstream news desk when the BuzzFeed boom happened, and since then have kept an eye on changes in media online. So all of the above comes with a knowledge of and continuing education on SEO and best practices.
