Hi there!
As the url suggests, I’m Tyler McCall, a writer and editor based in New York City specializing in writing about fashion, celebrity, and pop culture. I spent over a decade working in digital media, most recently serving as editor-in-chief of Fashionista. These days, I’m a free agent, and my bylines have appeared in publications like L’Officiel, Elle, Town & Country, and The Cut.
I live in Brooklyn with my husband Sam and our cat Evie. I read more books than should be humanly possible and consider myself to be an amateur Gossip Girl historian.
If you’d like to work together, my email is LTylerMcCall@gmail.com.
The Queen’s Guard
A Quinn Original
voiced by Andrew Scott
THE QUEEN’S GUARD is an original series I wrote for the audio erotica app Quinn. Voiced by Andrew Scott, the series follows Robb the Protector, personal guard to a cruel and tyrant queen, as he fights against a growing resistance movement led by his former lover Mira.
