GETTING COZY is a newsletter and community devoted to soothing our weary hearts. We mainly focus on pop culture recommendations and musings of all kinds, but there will also be playlists, product recommendations, essays, interviews, podcasts, and much more.
Working in Hollywood and media is rocky and unstable — supporting this newsletter means giving a direct line of support to an artist and journalist trying her damn best to move the needle forward and provide a balm for as many hearts and brains as possible.

WHO IS ALANNA BENNETT?
Alanna Bennett is a screenwriter and culture writer living in Los Angeles. Born in Hollywood and raised in Portland, Alanna studied Cinema Studies at Oberlin College and seeks to tell stories that move conversations forward while providing a balm to the daily stresses of human existence. She has written feature films for major studios and has written for television in the writers rooms of XO, KITTY (spinoff to TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE), ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO, and THE HOSPITAL, as well as on her own development. She is currently working on her debut novel and her first comic book.
As an entertainment reporter, culture writer, and essayist, Alanna’s work has appeared on BuzzFeed and BuzzFeed News (where she worked for years), as well as the New York Times, Teen Vogue, The Cut, Vulture, Refinery29, Eater, TV Guide, and many more. She’s written cover stories profiling celebrities, bled into essays about childhood homelessness, smiled through public love letters to friends, dissected the rom-com too many times to count, and reported on the Me Too movement, representation, Captain America’s butt, and much, much more. When it comes to all of the above, across every one of her many careers, she is only just getting started. Alanna is perhaps pathologically committed to getting cozy at all costs.
