Managing Editor Molly Lambert

Molly Lambert is the managing editor of This Recording. Born in Hollywood California, she settled six years later in North Hollywood, land of pools, porn, and crystal meth. After various hustles fell through, she turned her focus extensively to writing. A three-time recipient of the Prezler Award, she currently lives in Echo Park with her wife Alice B. Toklas and their cat Keatons.

ETA: Alex killed Keatons. He claims it was an accident.
