Jacob Clifton has been writing professionally for twenty-five years — fourteen of them as a flagship writer at Television Without Pity. Along the way: Tribune Media, Gawker, Tor.com/Reactor, Vulture, BuzzFeed, the Austin Chronicle. He built two web verticals to a million monthly readers in six months — twice — and has more than forty books in print.
None of that explains why these five stories exist. They’re what happens when a person who’s spent a career being paid to have opinions sits down to ask the harder question: what does love cost, and is it worth it?
He lives and writes in Austin, Texas.
