Stacey Lastoe

Writer. Editor. Producer. I've been working in digital media for over 15 years. Before that, I worked in book publishing — on English composition textbooks. I love grammar and punctuation, so it wasn’t as dry as you might think.

After getting a feel for life as a New Yorker, I decided to set the whole career thing aside for a bit and backpack around South America. Many years later, when I was hired as a senior editor for CNN, focusing on Anthony Bourdain’s website Explore Parts Unknown, it seemed like things had truly come full circle. The Emmy my team won for our work on Little Los Angeles was a highlight.

I split my time between Brooklyn, New York, and West Dover, Vermont.
