SARAHSPY is Sarah Lynn Knowles, a Brooklyn-based writer/editor and pop culture junkie. I've run sarahspy.com since 2007, and I curate art/fiction/music journal Storychord. I'm also national board vice president of The Furnace Review and events editor for Carroll Gardens Patch. Recently I've written for: Brooklyn Based, Metrowize, Thought Catalog, USA Today's Pop Candy, Low Log, Cayman Airways' Skies, Nerve, PR Tactics, This Recording, Rawkblog, Head Underwater, and Brokelyn. My top 3 loves are live music, bloody mary brunches, and fiction writing (read my short stories in Perigee and Slice Magazine).
