William Goodman

William Goodman is a freelance writer at InsideHook, where his writing covers a wide range of topics — but primarily focuses on the Washington, DC area, where he’s plugged into the fashion, arts, culture and food scenes of the nation’s capital.

William started freelancing in 2015, but he’s long had a desire to be a writer, dating back to his college years at the University of South Carolina, where he started a comic book blog and podcast that just so happened to dovetail with the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While he’s no longer podcasting, his love for writing and comics remains steadfast — although he freely admits Scorsese has good points about the MCU.

He’s yet to meet a cardigan or jacket he didn’t love, and if he’s not on Twitter (@goodmanw) he’s probably at the movies.
