A (very) brief timeline:

• 2004 through 2012: I reviewed over 550 books for the sadly now-defunct RT Book Reviews, almost all science fiction or fantasy. That’s over 125,000 words of criticism in reader-facing space. My reviews have been featured on the covers of books and in promotional materials, under the RT Book Reviews byline.
• 2012 through 2022: I reviewed books and wrote essays here on Pretty Terrible.

A few other items of interest:

• 2017: I was a finalist for the Best Fan Writer Hugo. I lost.
• 2021: my essay, George R.R. Martin Can Fuck Off Into the Sun", was a finalist in the Best Related Work Hugo category. I lost. To Beowulf, and how could anyone be upset by that?

I hope everyone who was mad in 2021 is still mad. Stay mad forever.
