I’m from California, but have lived in New York for 10 years. I like donuts and turn ups, in that order.
I would like to meet other writers of color (because I don’t really know many “irl”). This would double as a dope invite list for a party!
I’ve lived all over the US and will go anywhere for a story.
I’m full-time at Rolling Stone and am not looking for any freelance work at the moment. However, I’m always available for quotes, panels, etc!
I began writing in 2011, and I joined Netsdaily.com on a full time basis in October 2013. Offline, I work for a non-profit organization that works with the developmentally disabled.
I work in beauty right now but definitely want to branch out into different writing subjects — and plan to start freelance writing soon. Fashion, culture, music, reporting are all things that interest me.
I’m pretty good at breaking news and have a broad range of genres I’m comfortable writing for. Follow me on Twitter!

Research poetry and (non)fiction. I make a zine with my friends
I have a BA from Psychology from New York University and am working toward my MFA in Creative Writing from The New School, where I’ll graduate in May. I work as the publishing intern at Guernica, and a research assistant for John Reed, as well as in the office of The New School Graduate Writing Program. I have also studied at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop for an eight-week fiction program.
My book, HOOD, will be published by Bloomsbury in January 2016: “We all wear hoods: the Grim Reaper, Red Riding Hood, torturers, executioners and the executed, athletes, laborers, anarchists, rappers, babies in onesies, and anyone who’s ever grabbed a hoodie on a chilly day. Alison Kinney’s HOOD explores the material and symbolic vibrancy of this everyday garment and political semaphore, which often protects the powerful at the expense of the powerless—with deadly results. Kinney considers medieval clerics and the Klan, anti-hoodie campaigns and the Hooded Man of Abu Ghraib, the Inquisition and the murder of Trayvon Martin, uncovering both the hooded perpetrators of violence and the hooded victims in their sights.”
Thanks!
