Kelly McClure Writes Stuff

About Me:

Writer in New Orleans by way of New York, by way of California, by way of Chicago
I started my career in newspapers, went on to work as the first official Music Editor for VICE, and am currently Senior Culture Editor at Salon.

In 2022, I released my debut novella, Something Is Always Happening Somewhere.

EVERETT TRUE
"Man, I wish I could write like that: sardonic and salacious and snappy and soulful. Sucks, don’t it, when you discover someone so fluent, so natural at a craft you once almost prided yourself at being OK in?"
