Michael Friedrich
I’m a journalist living in Brooklyn who writes about culture and cities. My work has appeared in The Baffler, The New Republic, The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, and other publications. I also do storytelling, research, and grant writing for nonprofits and philanthropies.
Before writing full time, I spent five years researching gun violence for a nonprofit at John Jay College. Before that, I studied English literature at Hunter College. Earlier still, I was very serious about making punk music. (I remain a punk.) I grew up in Maryland and on Long Island.
