About / Published

Hello. I am a writer living in Manhattan. Some of the things I write are available online. I write regularly for n+1 and have contributed to Maxim, The New York Observer, More Intelligent Life, Stop Smiling, and others.
Along with Dallas, Graham and Spike Jonze, I blog for the official Where the Wild Things Are website. I also blog at Urban Outfitters.
If you’d like to get in touch regarding work, please contact molly [dot] beth [dot] young [at] gmail [dot] com.
