Meredith Nudo holds a master’s degree in English from University of St. Thomas and is a grizzled old veteran of excavating the word mines, with bylines in Houston Press, Chron, Houston Food Finder, Texas Signal, San Francisco Chronicle, Azure Magazine, and the late Houston Landing (RIP); she’s also edited and published comics and short fiction. In addition to flinging commentary about local arts and culture to Houstonia readers, she also works as an actress and improv and sketch comedian. When she has free time, she likes gardening, cooking, and giving her cat many cuddles.
