about me

I have written zines, columns, poetry, interactive fiction, creative nonfiction, web content, marketing copy, newspaper headlines, job descriptions, art manifestos, summaries of interviews with law-school admissions officers, shelf-talkers, press releases, personal statements, workshop handouts, strongly worded business letters, Marxist critiques, product packaging labels, employee manuals, beefcake calendar captions, a bar-mitzvah speech, a book review, a master’s thesis (entitled “Sex, Magic, and Shannen Doherty”), other people’s resumes, pop-culture prophecy, “methodologically adventurous” research on hustler bars, insurance-software documentation, and a lot of horoscopes.

From 2002 to 2018, I was a professional astrologer working under the moniker astrobarry. In addition to producing horoscopes and other astrological writings (including four book-length annual forecasts), I taught, lectured, and consulted with clients from all over the world.

I am also a human.
