WHAT EDITORS &
PUBLISHERS SAY...

Peter is a terrific and original writer with a strong authorial voice who is nevertheless sensitive to the tone of varying publications and willing to take direction within that context.

- VANESSA FRIEDMAN

Peter has been a very valued member of the team at Twitch. His writing is always sharp, insightful and entertaining. He's a very committed, gifted and reliable writer──a rare combination.

- TODD BROWN

PARTNER, XYZ Films; Founder/EIC, TwitchFilm & ScreenAnarchy

Peter has been great to work with on his Connect the Pop blog at SLJ, and other coverage for us of transmedia. His coverage is robust, always interesting, and right on target.

- REBECCA T. MILLER

, Executive Vice President, Publishing & Content, Library Journal, School Library Journal and The Horn Book

I was extremely fortunate to feature Peter's work, which encompassed reviews and festival coverage, on Modern Korean Cinema. As a correspondent he is proficient, flexible and very respectful of deadlines but more than anything it is the quality of his writing and the depth of his thought that were an invaluable resource for my website. His experience, talent, broad knowledge base and professionalism would make him a perfect candidate for any writing assignment. I can only give Peter the highest possible recommendation.
