Annemarie Dooling

Ever since her first essay was published in a third-grade anthology about Jane Goodall, Annemarie has been hooked on writing. She's since traded in print publications for HTML and pencils for iPads but prides herself on the same journalistic integrity that her news print reporting background required. Time Out, Marie Claire, Lifetime, and AOL are just some of the venues that publish her work. A native New Yorker, she lives vicariously through French fashion blogs, weekend gambling trips, and coffee.
