Author: Jay

I'm a writer and editor living in Duluth, Minnesota, where I write about arts and entertainment for the Duluth News Tribune. From 2013 to 2022, I was a digital producer at Minnesota Public Radio's The Current, where among other projects I hosted/wrote our Rock and Roll Book Club feature. I'm also a co-founder of The Tangential, a member of the National Book Critics Circle, and an alumnus of the National Critics Institute. Recent books I've written or co-written include Sociology for Dummies (second edition, 2021), Robots and Foundation (2020), and Wildsam Field Guides: Twin Cities (2020). I'm on Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Tumblr, Instagram, TikTok, and Letterboxd. Gmail: jaygabler. (Photo by Emmet Kowler)

Editing

Over the course of my career I’ve worked with dozens of writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and producers to shape content across a range of editorial projects.
