In my other life, I’m a freelance writer for North Shore Sunday, which covers the area north of Boston, all the way from Saugus up to Marblehead and points beyond. I’d like to do a story on manga and anime fans on the North Shore. If you’re interested in being interviewed, drop me an e-mail at the address on the right. It doesn’t matter if you’re a casual reader or a serious otaku—I’m looking for a range of people.
If you want to see what my articles are like, here are a few samples:
