About Me

Name: Stephen Edelstein

What I’m doing here: Writing, of course.

I’m a freelance automotive journalist. I have an MA in History from Clark University and started down this career path there as editor-in-chief of the Clark student newspaper, The Scarlet. I was lucky enough to stumble into automotive writing, turning a passion into a career.

I currently freelance for Digital Trends, Green Car Reports, and Motor Authority, mostly writing news stories, and I also write car reviews for CarGurus.

About the blog

Ilium Gazette is first and foremost a personal blog about things that I find interesting, so I apologize if it seems a little random at times. It’s mostly automotive stuff at this point, as that’s what I do professionally.

A word on the title: Ilium, New York is a fictional industrial city and the setting of many Kurt Vonnegut stories. Vonnegut was one of the titans of modern literature; the Mark Twain of the “American Century.”
