Book & Film Reviews

I have contributed criticism to both public-facing and academic venues. My reviews of fiction and nonfiction titles— many of which are related to my interests in the stories we tell about creative women— have appeared or are forthcoming in venues ranging from American Book Review, Harvard Review, and Necessary Fiction to Film Quarterly and Woman's Art Journal.
