OMG it's SKR!

Sara Runnels is a writer living in New York City. Most notably, her work has appeared in Tinder messages, late-night tweets, Gmail inboxes, group texts, Instagram captions, the Notes app, Tumblr drafts and abandoned Word documents. But luckily, she pays her bills by being a sought-after marketing copywriter, where she has spent a good portion of her career writing for distinguished brands like CBS, JetBlue, Birchbox, MTV, Verizon and Disney. A piece she wrote about God creating millennial earth was the #7 most-read piece on McSweeney’s in 2017. Other buzzworthy accomplishments include being c-r-o-w-n-e-d the 1994 spelling bee champion, and in 2014, Beyoncé posted a picture of Sara wearing a clever bee costume to her Facebook page. Lisa Frank also once bought her a lobster roll. All of her free time is spent watching very good (and very bad) television, traveling as much as possible, documenting first dates in real-time on Instagram and never being able to sleep because she is so full of very good (and very bad) ideas.

You can take the girl out of New York, but you can’t take her out of The New Yorker!!!

My latest @newyorker piece was thoroughly researched simply by...going on hundreds of first dates as the end of the world looms & the earth slowly ghosts us!!!

If you love/read/share it, you’re totally invited back to my doomsday bunker. ;)
