About Ellen Wernecke

@

Ellen Wernecke fell into online media by accident but has been quite happy here. Her writing has appeared in The Providence Journal, Publishers Weekly and (improbably) Men's Health, and she is a founding participant of the A.V. Club's book club, Wrapped Up In Books. A Wisconsin native, she now lives in New York City and can often be found people-watching in coffeeshops, watching Better Off Dead for the 300th time and teaching middle-schoolers how to use the word "awesome."
