Missy Roback

I'm an editorial lead for the 360 Blog, where I develop and edit articles about AI and digital labor. I have over 25 years of experience in journalism and marketing, and an undying love for magazines, where I cut my teeth. I’ve written about everything from nuclear energy to rock stars’ crimes of fashion.

Editing is my true love, and throughout my career, I’ve been a developmental editor, line editor, copy editor, and proofreader — often, all at once. I started out at tech and music magazines, and have also created content for brands including Autodesk, Adobe, and Oracle. I have a Master of Fine Arts in Writing, and I’m a published fiction writer and a singer-songwriter. Although I pursued an MFA for my own artistic goals, turns out it’s been good for my “day job” as well, helping me understand writing and editing on a deeper level.

I'm doing something music-related: listening to it, talking about it, thinking about it. Writing songs. Singing. I’m also a vintage fanatic with a weakness for mid-century coats and dinnerware. I’d love to own a thrift store or be an interior designer. I live with the five smartest and most beautiful cats in the world and a husband who is the Oscar to my Felix.
