The Nerdy Girl Express started in October 2015 because three friends really loved iZombie—and apparently talking about it on Twitter wasn’t enough.

Katherine, Erin, and Erica met through the iZombie fandom, became friends, and eventually decided to create a place where we could express all of our nerdiness. What started with one show didn’t stay that way for long.

Over the years, NGE grew to cover television, movies, books, comics, music, interviews, reviews, and pretty much anything else we found interesting enough to write about.

Our interests have always been all over the place, and we’ve always liked it that way.

One thing that hasn’t changed is our belief that there should be room for a variety of voices in popular media, especially voices that have historically been underrepresented. That was part of NGE’s mission when we started, and it still matters to us today.

So, What’s NGE Now?

After more than ten years, a lot has changed. People came and went. Lives got busy. The site got quiet.

But NGE never actually went anywhere.

Now we’re dusting things off and starting a new chapter.

You’ll still find us talking about television, movies, books, authors, pop culture, fandom, and whatever else catches our attention. There will probably be some nostalgia involved, too, because sometimes you remember a show, movie, cartoon, or book from twenty or thirty years ago and suddenly need to know why nobody else seems to remember the damn thing.

We’re not going to cover something simply because everyone else is covering it. We’d rather talk about the things we actually care about.

That’s always been more fun anyway.

Nerdy. Nostalgic. Unapologetically Us.

The People Who Helped Build NGE

A lot of people have been part of The Nerdy Girl Express over the years, and the archive wouldn’t exist without them.

Katherine Kleffner was one of NGE’s original co-founders and served as Head Editor. Stacy Ann Miller served as Marketing Manager and became one of the site’s most prolific writers, covering television and entertainment extensively. Tracy Miller brought books, poetry, reviews, and her own writing to the site. Erica, also one of NGE’s original co-founders, was part of the beginning of the site before eventually moving on.

We also had a number of guest contributors over the years, including Krista, Mars “The Martian,” Imran, Kelly Sue, Mo Jordan, Angie, and Jonathan White.

Their work remains part of the NGE archive and part of the history of the site.

Who’s Running This Thing Now?

Hi. I’m Erin.

I’m one of the original co-founders of The Nerdy Girl Express, and I’m the one behind NGE these days.

I have a degree in Criminal Justice, I’m a writer and author, and I’ve never been particularly good at limiting myself to one interest. I can get invested in a television show, disappear into a book, obsess over some random piece of pop culture, and suddenly remember something I watched in the ’90s that apparently nobody else on Earth remembers.

So basically, not much has changed since 2015.

NGE has always been a place to nerd out about the things we love, and that’s exactly what I want it to be again.
