About

Experience: Born and raised in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio, Kaitlin Thomas is a detail-oriented writer and editor. With extensive experience in digital media, she has written reviews, recommendations, and features, and conducted interviews with well-known actors, writers, and producers throughout the industry. Her work has appeared on Salon, Gold Derby, Paste Magazine, Polygon, Collider, TV Guide, TV.com, and HelloGiggles.

Outside of work: Kaitlin is an avid sports fan, with fierce loyalty to Ohio State and Cleveland sports. It’s safe to say that when LeBron James and the Cavaliers became the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship in 2016, she was more than a little excited. 

In her free time, Kaitlin enjoys reading (YA, mystery, sci-fi, and fantasy), baking, and spending time with her dog, Riggins.
