I’m available to talk about any of the articles I’ve written on your podcast, radio program or TV show. I’m also available for any speaking engagements. Here are some topics I can speak on:

I’m currently working on a book called MODERN FRIENDSHIP about optimizing your friendships. It will be out in June 2024 on Sounds True. I’m represented by Sonali Chanchani at Folio Literary.

I’m also adapting “Clearly, I Didn’t Think This Through� for television. I’m represented by Michelle Weiner at CAA.

If you’re planning on moving in or already live with your partner, check outÌý for the Real Estate section of The New York Times.ÌýNot only do I talk about my (now husband)ÌýMike and our three-legged cat, Eleanor, but the article alsoÌýdives into the ups and downs of cohabitation with tips from experts and stories from other couples.

Writing for The New YorkÌýTimes has been an absolute dream come true.ÌýI’m grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read, comment, or share the piece.

I shall now celebrate by eatingÌýa square of dark chocolate.

As a middle child, I’m used to being ignored. So imagine my surprise when I noticed that the advice I gave on a recent I wrote about traveling with your significant other was by Lifehacker! Look at it!

HeÌýeven mentions me by name. *faints*

The inner middle child in me is freaking out. Someone listened to what I said. This is everything I’ve ever wanted.

I feel like people don’t know how great Ikea’s market it. Well, I’m on a one-woman quest to let America know their frozen and prepared food is slamminâ€�! Here’s my Ìýof my favorite things they offerÌýfor Refinery29.

Wegman’s is one of my favorite places (not to brag, but I’m on nod-and-say-hello terms with two employees at my local outpost), so I was stoked to write this .

For those unfamiliar with the store and don’t understand why Wegman’s kicks so much ass, I tried to demonstrate the range of products you can get there. Frozen foods, fresh foods, shelf-stable foods; they have a wonderful range. I usually hopscotch through the store tossing my favorite things into my cart so it was fun to share my shopping list with you all. Woohoo!

Philly is having a major momentÌýas beer becomes big business, and there’sÌýa web of passionate people who are moving the industry forward in exciting ways. I asked a few leaders in Philly’s beer scene to look into their crystal balls .ÌýIÌýexpected updates on flavors and styles (sours, low-ABV beers and IPAs are hot), andÌýto my delight, I was able to delve intoÌýpolitical, economic, and environmental trends too. It was a fun piece to write!

I talked with Ìýabout their upcoming Ancient Roman cooking class at the . I metÌýÌýat the Eating Words conference last month, and when she told me about all the cool shit she’s doing bringing these unusual food stories to life, I knew I wanted to write about it. I was like, “There’s a story here!â€� So I pestered the Inquirer and to my surprise, they agreed to let me cover it. You can read the story .

As lifelong Philly residents, my grandparents would’ve been tickled to see my name in the paper they read every day. They used to keep all my Barnard Bulletin articles in a wicker basket in their living room. So this story is dedicated to them.

You couldn’t get more than three dollars for Wally at a yard sale. His yellowed cord is twisted beyond recognition. It’s untamable. When you try to wind the cord around the body of the mixer for storage, it always unravels and flops around, like a toddler having a tantrum.

I talked about my Ìýand what it meant to me as a kid, and what it means to me as an aunt. Give it a read when you have a spare minute.

This Saturday, February 27th, I’ll be on the food blogger panel at ‘s Eating Words, a one-day food writing conference at the Free Library of Philadelphia.

You might be like, “You, Anna? A food writer? When did that happen? I thought you just wrote snappy posts about guys with long fingernails.�

Well, I’ve been working hard to expand my food writing portfolio the past few months. I was guest editor of for a week in November. I had two features in the winter issue of , and I’ve recently contributed several posts to both and . I’ve actually been doing so much food writing, I had to rearrange my page on this site to highlight all the food-centric content I’ve been pumping out.

It’s $85 to attend the conference, and with on pitching, food photography, cookbook publishing, and social media, it will be a full, informative day. If you’re a food writer, food blogger, or just curious about whatÌýthis scene’s all about, definitely come.ÌýYou can buy tickets . I hope to see you there!

Whoa, guys. I engaged in some heated discussions during my Radio Times segment! Who knew I had such strong opinions about modern dating, dating apps, and the ridiculous, outdated concept of soulmates? Listen to my segmentÌý.
