Full list of my Chicago Reader work is here.
Some Reader favorites: I try to convince you to buy records from one of my all-time fave comedians. Introducing a beautiful music video from a unique Chicago composer. Hi, I’m bi. I managed to get a legendary Chicago TV star to talk to me about Berwyn and Doctor Who. I got Ready for the World. I put a positive review of Lionel Richie into an alternative newsweekly and managed to mention Bloom County.
From roughly 2000-2014, I was a member of the art group Temporary Services, which co-founded Half Letter Press. I worked with my collaborators on a myriad of projects, but some of my faves include cowriting parts of and coediting Group Work, creating the Framing the Artists project and booklet, and working on the Prisoners’ Inventions project.
Sometimes I write fiction. I’ve done communications for nonprofits, proofreading for agencies, and publication consulting.
I’ve also lectured, sat on panels, moderated, performed stand-up, been interviewed on the radio, hosted radio shows, talked on podcasts, taught classes, did crit panels for grad students, judged competitions, made public spectacles, and created semi-engaging performance art (I mean, we try).
Work: I’m working on a book project about family and Chicago. I’m also selling vintage vinyl, objets d’art, books, and assorted stuff and rebuilding a family reseller and vintage business. I have a lot of family matters to attend to at the moment but I am happy to be invited to your show, discuss topics, moderate conversations, or sing spontaneous karaoke with tinkly backing tracks.
I’m also open to staff, leadership, or long-term contract positions in media, communications, or the arts. My best situation is remote work with some flexibility but I can adjust for the dream jobs of course! If you’d like to interview me, invite me to talk about Chicago, or just want to tap on my shoulder about secret projects, please email me at scollojulin at g’mail dot com.
It might take me a bit to get back to you, so if time is of the essence, back it up with a message or DM on Instagram or Facebook. Thanks!
