Mandi Bierly

More than half of my 20+ years in entertainment journalism was spent at Entertainment Weekly and EW.com, where I rose from reporter to senior writer, became a leading authority on Sons of Anarchy and Justified, and enjoyed my time on-air at EW Radio. While a senior editor at TV Guide Magazine, I helped plan, write, and edit the popular What's Worth Watching section as well as cover stories and other features. As Deputy Editor of Yahoo TV, I was most proud of the team's annual Emmy advocacy and special monthly packages (Why Genre Shows Matter, Why Teen TV Matters). I've moderated panels for Comic-Con, BUILD Series, 92nd Street Y, SAG-AFTRA, and Paley Center. Currently, I'm freelancing. Bylines include The New York Times, Vulture, Billboard.com, TVLine, Yahoo, ArchitecturalDigest.com, TV Insider Magazine, and Tom's Guide.
