After a hiatus (2008-2011), I have returned to freelance writing. I cover music, music culture, writing about music, popular culture, gender and sexuality, and progressive politics. I can do reported pieces, news items, features, profiles, event reviews, and work reviews (music and book). I am based in New York City. Email me at daphnegacarr at gmail dot com if you are interested in having me write for your publication.
