Pete Tosiello // writer // New York
I'm a New York-based freelance writer. I mostly write about pop music and books. Sometimes I write about tech, labor, and politics.
My criticism, reportage, and interviews have appeared in The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Paris Review, Gawker, The Washington Post, Vulture, and the Los Angeles Times. My short fiction has appeared in Hash Journal.
I'm an organizer with the book critics' division of the Freelance Solidarity Project. You can subscribe to my Substack dispatches and follow me on Twitter.
