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, and I write book reviews, too. I teach at UCLA Extension, a class on writing and blogging that begins in January. I was once editor of LAist and web editor at Marketplace. I live in Los Angeles, and my address changed mid-2009 — if you’re interested in sending me review copies (hooray!) please email me at paperhaus [at] gmail.com for my mailing info.
In 2008, I earned my MFA in fiction from the University of Pittsburgh.
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 now you can also call me Carolyn. 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 book blogging continues, along with other flotsam. Thanks for stopping by.
