Hello,

My name is Brendan Ruberry. I’m a writer, fact checker, and editor based in New York.

I write about books, culture, and politics. My work has appeared in The Boston Globe, Commonweal, Persuasion, The Washington Examiner, The Drift, CT Mirror, and PopMatters.

You can find some of that work below. I also write a Substack called McBrodie.

Thanks,

Brendan
