WEEKLY GUEST WRITERS
Every Wednesday, we publish reviews and feminist commentary by guest writers. Please browse some of our most popular pieces by our past guest writers to get an idea of what we're looking for. They include pieces such as "Rom-Coms Don't Suck" by Amanda Krauss, "Boardwalk Empire" by Amanda ReCupido, and "Movie Preview: Horrible Bosses" by Melissa McEwan. Shoot us an e-mail if you'd like to contribute an original piece or a cross post from your own blog!
