Past Writers

Meg Quinn found her love for writing after her freshman year at college and it’s only deepened since then. After graduating from Rutgers University with a BA in Communication in 2013, she began working in online marketing for the hospitality industry.  She currently splits her time between NYC, where she works, and NJ, where she lives — but hopes that one day she’ll be able to live and work in the same state (that’s the dream).  After work hours, and on the weekends, she spends a great deal of her time baking a lot and cooking a little, doing yoga, running, listening to comedy podcasts, and watching lots and lots of television. Seriously, she watches A LOT of television.

Janna Jeffrey

Senior writer from April 2013 – Aug. 2016

Janna Jeffrey lives in Toronto and holds an Honors Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production from York University. The Ontario native spent much of her time at school specializing in editing and screenwriting. Janna loves stories told in all mediums, especially film, and takes herself to the movies as much as she possibly can. When she’s not catching a screening, she can generally be found taking a Zumba class, exploring some of Toronto’s lesser-known gems, or relaxing with her fluffy feline roommate. Janna is known to ramble non-stop when she has thoughts, opinions, or a new interest, and she’s thrilled to have the opportunity to put it all down in the written word!

Andrea Lozano

Contributor from Nov. 2012 – Feb. 2015

When she’s not rescuing stray cats or freelancing as a graphic designer, Andrea Lozano’s writing in the past has been limited to “LOL check out this cat video” and similar Facebook statuses but she’s eager to try her hand at blogging about movies, TV shows, music, traveling, art, cats, artsy cats and so on. Her first language is Spanish and she’s from Bolivia, which makes her a Latina but don’t expect her to dance salsa or have anything in common with Sofia Vergara. After spending a year living the dream in Paris, she’s currently residing in her home town in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
