About Morgan

Morgan Shanahan (that’s me) is a professional blogger, copywriter, and screenwriter living in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley (aka“The818”) with her toddler daughter, dashing hubby, and farting duo of dogs.

In addition to over-sharing my personal life (complete with curse words) here on The818.com, I am the Entertainment Editor for BlogHer.com, and write occasionally about art and design for Cargoh.com.  I also tweet, pin, bolt, and instagram.

Want to work with The818.com?

I’d love to work with you too!  I hope we’re a good fit.  I accept advertising and sponsorships on my site.  I’ve worked with some great brands on some incredible campaigns both as a blogger and a copywriter and I’d love to bring my expertise to your party.  For money.  Otherwise I’ll come to your party, but I’ll leave my expertise at home.  I can be reached via email HERE.

I do do (ha! do-do!) the occasional product review, and would be happy to take a look at yours — especially if you are a parent-run company or fellow small business. Suffice it to say the editorial calendar for The818 is loose at best, so please be patient with me if you do decide to send your fabulous item my way. (Contact me for shipping info.)

To save time — here is a quick and handy fact sheet about the residents of The Eight-One-Eight:

Delilah is Two and a Half.  She’s bright but she can’t read, swim, or skydive yet.  She is, as of yet, an only child and she is a girl.

I’m married to Scott.  We’re pretty into monogamy.  We probably don’t want to try your dating service.  We might want to try your couples massage.

We’re a family of enthusiasts!  Here’s some stuff we’re enthusiastic about:

Architecture, Photography, Trips to the Zoo, Being nice to earth, Gadgets, Classic Cars, and Hound Dogs…to name a few things.  We also think we’d be pretty into trips to Hawaii, but we’ve yet to test that theory.

What does my husband do for a living?  Thank you for asking.  He works with dogs.  If you live in the LA area, he could even work with your dog.

What does my daughter do for a living?  Nothing.  Damn child labor laws.

How do we know that The818.com is legit?  Show us some links and stuff.  Okay.  Here you go –

the818 I like the About Me but as an editor, I think you might trim a few spots to avoid the online short attn span readers.
