About Me
- Dylan Foley
- (The photo above is very old.) I presently carry out author interviews for the website LitHub.com, but before that I worked as a book columnist for the Newark Star-Ledger from January 2002 to June 2012. I have written for the New York Observer, the New York Post, the Denver Post and other newspapers.
