Hollywood The Write Way began in February 2008 and publishes entertainment reviews and interviews with actors, writers, comedians, musicians, singers, etc, as well as covers various events in Los Angeles and New York.
Hi, there! I’m Melody Simpson, lover of books, Broadway, TV, and film! I have written TV recaps, reviews, and more for OMFGTV, The Televixen, Buzzfocus, and TVOverMind. As a lifelong Gleek, I also used to co-host Gleek Squad, the first podcast dedicated to the hit Fox series, Glee.
I currently run Melanin in YA, a database for all things Black in traditional young adult publishing. If you’re looking for Black Y.A. authors, Black literary agents who rep Y.A., Black editors, Black influencers (BookTube, Bookstagram, etc…), be sure to check it out! I am also the Co-Editor of the nonfiction anthology, Writing in Color: Fourteen Writers on the Lessons We’ve Learned which was published by Simon & Schuster. You can also check out my short story, “The Guardrail Disappears” in the feminist horror anthology, Betty Bites Back: Stories to Scare the Patriarchy Edited by Mindy McGinnis, Demitria Lunetta, and Kate Karyus Quinn.
I’m thirty-four, born and raised in New Jersey and currently split my time between Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX. I am represented by JL Stermer at Next Level Lit.
