Emily Gould has worked in book publishing and as an editor at Gawker.com back when that meant something different than it does now. She currently writes for emilymagazine.com and is a contributing editor at MIT’s Technology Review. She is the co-author, with Zareen Jaffery, of Hex Education, a young adult novel, and her first book of autobiographical essays will be published in 2010. The theme of her senior prom was “Party Like It’s 1999” (it was 1999). Her New York Times magazine essay “Exposed” is sometimes taught to students in media studies classes, who are often then required by their teachers to blog about it.
