Hello! I’m the associate online editor for Interview magazine. I am also the fact-checker for Avenue.
I’ve done contract and freelance writing for publications including The New York Times (and its style supplement, T Magazine), The New York Observer, This Recording, Paste, Paper, Prefix, and Time Out New York, and I also write reading group guides for publishers sometimes.
Here is my blog. If you want to read some of my articles, you can find a selection below! (This part is a work in progress.) If you want to contact me, please do!! My e-mail address is alexandria [dot] symonds [at] gmail [dot] com.
