who? huh?
paperhaus October 7th, 2006
My name is Carolyn Kellogg, which you could probably ascertain from the domain. I’m the lead blogger at the LA Times book blog Jacket Copy. I write book reviews and features for the LA Times, and can be heard on NPR talking about books and seen doing the same in this C-SPAN2 video of a panel at BEA2010. I’m now on the board of the National Book Critics Circle. I was once editor of LAist, web editor at Marketplace and, many years ago, managing editor of Woodstock.com (the riot-and-fires year). I live in Los Angeles, and my address changed mid-2009 — if you’re interested in sending me review copies (thanks!) or contacting me for any other reason, please email me at paperhaus [at] gmail.com.
I began blogging about books in 2004, when I had an internet radio show and podcast that was part music, part books. Some weeks, an author would guest DJ. Because my job at the time was pretty darn formal, I needed a pseudonym: Pinky’s Paperhaus was my show name. Then my blog name. Then I left the job, dyed my hair red, and people started calling me Pinky.
Which is fine, but my hair has changed, and you’re welcome to call me Carolyn. Like I wrote above, you can reach me at paperhaus [at] gmail.com. Or follow me @paperhaus on Twitter. Or catch up with me on Facebook or Goodreads or Flickr or another online thing where I show up from time to time.
As I’ve been at this for a while, I know that blogs change shape. For a while I thought I might stop blogging about books here, but I’m a huge book geek. So the blogging continues, books and all.
