Author: Melody
I'm Melody Simpson, francophile & lover of books, broadway, TV, and film which is what this blog is all about.
I've written TV recaps, reviews, and more for OMFGTV, The Televixen, Buzzfocus, and TVOverMind.
I am an Editorial Assistant at MunaLuchi Bride Magazine and a former literary intern for Louise Fury at The Bent Agency.
I'm also a writer, prepping to query a novel for Young Adults.
When I'm not blogging, writing, or reading, I can be found in the audience of a Broadway show or at home watching Netflix.
Finally, I'm a twenty-something year old born and raised in New Jersey though I consider my second home to be Los Angeles, CA. I currently live in New Jersey with my cat, Skittles.
