    About

    I write. Often about music. Sometimes, I write about other things like actors, books, or politics. I write features like this one and this one, too. Two more - this one was a cover. And I review music (that’s a love/hate thing). I’m writing a novel, which lately consists of me writing a paragraph, then going back to one I wrote two months ago, deciding I hate it, editing it, pacing around (maybe taking a call from my mother - “yes, mom, I will call the doctor”), getting distracted by the constant flood of press releases into my inbox, eventually giving up for the night to change into sweatpants (who am I kidding, I was already wearing them), put on a record, have a beer, and decide maybe I’ll work on short stories for a while.

    I am also a communications consultant & strategist. I like cause work, non-profits and organizations working for social change (like this one, this one, also this one, oh and this one and this one and this one too.)

    When I was a student at NYU I once wrote my own obituary for a homework assignment. It said that I married Paul Thomas Anderson, published a New York Times best-selling novel at age 20 and won an academy award for a screenplay at 26. This is the first line:
    Marissa Levine Moss, academy award winner and acclaimed novelist, died suddenly yesterday during her sleep at the Hôtel de Roi in Cannes, France, at the age of 35.
    I’m not 35 yet, but since the other parts didn’t come true, I’m hoping I’m good.

    And Levine isn’t even my real middle name.
