About Me
I am a writer and editor based out of Brooklyn and Westchester. To contact me about freelance projects, e-mail mlascala@gmail.com.
Ask me to profile a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer (who wasn't even nominated), find all of the non-white wedding dresses that hit the runway in a given season, write a round-up of "wizard rock" bands, seek out the oldest surviving movie theaters in New York City, write one of most negative reviews of "Outsourced" or "Whitney" aggregated on Metacritic (and one of the most positive reviews of "Kings"), explore why young adults live at home until later in their twenties, create an editorial package with 37 ways to enjoy the summer or 52 reasons to love Westchester County, find out how many therapists there are in New York City (and if their treatment works), or produce a preview guide with the best films, books, or TV shows to look out for in the next season, and I can show you a clip on this site I've already written.
My freelance work has appeared in the online or print version of the Condé Nast Traveler, Time Out New York, PopMatters, Metro, xoJane, and Beyond Race, among others.
