About me
I’m terrible at writing about myself. :)
Official Bio
Venus Zine’s Up Front editor, Amy Westervelt, is a freelance writer and editor who has written about fashion, books, film, and travel for a variety of publications, including Travel + Leisure, Clear, the San Francisco Chronicle, Countryman Press, and Fodor’s Travel Publications. In her down time, she likes to bowl, cook, and make pants that don’t fit her butt. Westervelt hasn’t been in one place for more than a month in the past two years, so she doesn’t really claim to live anywhere. Got clever, to-the-point story ideas about politics, offbeat topics, music news, film news, alternative sports, and other interesting, semi-random things? Get in touch.
