Other Writing
Before moving to LA to purse a career in television writing – or “selling out,” as we used to call it in the mid 90s – Gina was an assistant editor at the Chicago Reader. Her essays and reviews have appeared there and also in Entertainment Weekly, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Salon, the Jewish Daily Forward, and The Millions.
