About Janelle Sheetz

Janelle has an extensive career as a writer, with over a decade of freelance experience, especially when it comes to pop culture. Although her first love was music, she also enjoys digging into writing about film and television and taking a deeper, more analytical dive into their stories and characters. And, of course, the power of a well-done needle drop.

Janelle has eclectic taste in movies, music, books, pretty much everything--she's willing to give almost anything a chance. But her favorites tend to be horror and sci-fi, as she loves a good, thrilling scare and thinks both genres are full of compelling, creative stories. She also loves to see how book-to-screen adaptations play out. 

Janelle's writing credits also include Paste, Insider, Ms. magazine, and more. She lives with her husband and their son and two cats in the Pittsburgh area. Her profile photo may not accurately reflect her current hair color.
