Laura Leonard is editorial assistant for Christianity Today and Books & Culture magazines. Though she now lives in this place they call "Chicagoland," she'll always be a Philadelphia girl at heart (go Eagles!). Blogging combines two of her favorite things - talking about ideas, and the Internet - so she's very excited to discuss arts and media with such intelligent, thoughtful women.
