About Me

Fred Pollard is an award-winning author, reporter, editor, blogger, and self-proclaimed leader of revolt against all things conservative, mundane, and acceptable.

His writing has been showcased in a wide array of sources, including columns, newsletters, magazines, a poetry anthology, and his work for The Telegraph newspaper as a business, education, and hard news reporter. He also is a regular contributor for Home StylefURvor, and HIM magazines.

When not dressing his Muppet stuffed toys in nun’s habits and putting on Catholic Schoolgirls Gone Bad stage productions in his office, he most likely is working on an article, a blog, or that never-ending precipice of anxiety and stress…the book.

If you are a fan of John Waters, Concrete Blonde, or Cannibal Holocaust, then chances are you and he will be immediate and lifelong friends.

Fred lives in Alton, Illinois, one of the most haunted small towns in America. How fitting. He currently serves the community as the editor of AdVantage News.

* Friends with former members of Charles Manson’s “Family.”

* Ran into Chris Kattan in an elevator.

* Erroneously reported that Alan Parsons had died on a blog post; heard from Alan Parsons who in no uncertain terms let it be known he was NOT dead.
