Background

About Reyan Ali

A writer from Columbus, Ohio, by way of Dallas, Texas and Karachi, Pakistan. In one part of my life, I'm a digital marketing specialist, with experiences such as working in e-commerce making daily website updates of all complexities, and working with dozens of insurance agents to launch brand new websites. In the other, I'm the author of NBA Jam (the book), a critically and commercially successful deep dive into one of the greatest video games of all time. Prior to publishing NBA Jam, I was a professional freelance writer for years, with credits in Rolling Stone, Spin, Wired, Complex, The A.V. Club, The Atlantic, American Airlines' inflight magazine, and dozens more outlets (including alt-weekly free papers across the country). By phone, I have interviewed Shaq from a huddle room at work. You won't find a story like mine every day. Looking for my next opportunity!
