WHO IS GILLIAN TELLING?

Oh hello there! As it states above, I am a New York-based writer, editor, content creator and author whose work over the past two decades has appeared everywhere from Rolling Stone and People to Cosmopolitan and Maxim. Throughout my career as a (mostly) entertainment journalist, I’ve booked and interviewed hundreds of celebrities, from up-and-comers like Jonathan Majors and Dan Levy to legends like Alex Trebek and Steve Martin. I’m also an author! In 2010, I published the book Dirty Girls: The Naked Truth About Out Guilty Secrets (Unpretty, Unclean, and Utterly Horrifying), based on what I learned during my time as a sex columnist at Maxim. It has been described as “hilarious and true,” “laugh-out-loud funny,” and “terrifying.” It was also released in Germany, where the title directly translated to Men Are Gross. Women Are Too, which is simply amazing. I’m not just an entertainment writer though — I’ve covered all sorts of topics, from travel and food to human interest and crime, and have also done copywriting for ad agencies, script supervision for commercials, and written several pilots and screenplays. I’m also a connected celebrity booker, and experienced talking head/on-air personality. I currently live in Brooklyn with my two sons and my husband Josh Dean, who is a podcast creator and host. Below, please enjoy me creeping on some of my favorite interview subjects of all time, and please click through my work to see a mere sampling of what I’ve done! Thanks for stopping by.
