Hi! I’m Lillian, and I write about food, people, and internet culture.

I’m the author of EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE: Tales From the World’s Worst Perfectionist, a nonfiction humor essay collection published by Dey Street Books // HarperCollins in 2023. The book earned praise from outlets including Publisher’s Weekly, Glamour and ELLE and was shortlisted for prizes including the Goodreads Choice Awards and the Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago distinction.

I’m a frequent contributor to outlets including Slate, BBC Worklife, and GQ. On the humor side, I’m a headline and features contributor for The Onion and a regular ol’ contributor for outlets like The New Yorker and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.
