My name is Navneet Alang. I've been a writer and editor since the mid-2000s. Though I began my career focusing on the social and philosophical dimensions of tech, I also write about many other things: food and drink, identity, race, and more. A (short) lifetime ago, I completed a Ph.D. in English Literature; literature still matters to me. I've written for a wide variety of publications, including the _Globe and Mail_, _The Atlantic_, _The Walrus_, _Bon Appetit_, _Eater_, _Columbia Journalism Review_, _New York Magazine_, and many more. Currently I am an editor on the Opinion team at the _Toronto Star_, where I edit and solicit pieces for the Opinion section. I love my job. Please pitch me, _especially_ if you can write the hell out of an opinion piece or an essay.
