Bio, written in the third person to accentuate self-importance:

Specializing in lifestyle and arts & entertainment features, Anna Jane has been published in dozens of publications, including The New York Times, Salon.com, The Associated Press, Elle, New York Magazine, Marie Claire and Fortune. She formerly was a staff reporter at both The New York Observer and The New York Post, and was the founding editor of MasterCard's online magazine, Priceless.com . In 2004, she co-founded the website BreakupNews, a highly-praised site that spoofed traditional wedding announcements by “announcing” the breakups of average Joes and celebrities. The site inspired the co-writing of the 2006 breakup guide book It's Not Me, It's You. Her second book, Obsolete: An Encyclopedia of Once Common Things Passing Us By, is a series of short essays. It will be published by Abrams Image in September 2009. A lifelong New Yorker, she lives and works in Brooklyn.
