Hey. I’m
Logan Hill.

And, yes, I’m bummed that “Logan” has gone mainstream. I love telling stories — especially stories about underdogs, from cruise-ship entertainers to Florida Men. I suspect that’s because I grew up in rural North Carolina. I got my start at New York magazine profiling artists, reviewing movies, and helping to launch Vulture, where I spent TV’s Golden Age of Recaps writing about Mad Men. I’ve been an editor at GQ, a love-advice columnist at Cosmopolitan (Ask Logan!), a digital-culture columnist at Wired, a film critic at NY1, and a host of The New York TimesTimesTalks. Now I write comedic screenplays and collaborate on documentaries like Dick Johnson Is Dead.
