About

Welcome to Writepudding. My name is Liana. I am a writer, editor, journalist and tea lover, who although was born in Tehran, has lived in Los Angeles mostly all her life. I started this website in 2006 as an outlet while I was in school, studying for that ever alluring bachelor’s degree. Since then, I’ve graduated, bought a lot of shoes, traveled and spent my days thinking about writing an NY Times bestseller, as well as taking care of Henry. You can learn more about Henry through the About Henry page

I work full time as content editor at a new media company by day, and as a journalist for a couple publications including, The Glendale News-Press and Edible Los Angeles. I used to  write for Los Angeles Cityzine as well as co-host a gardening radio show called Edible Gardens every week. Currently, I am the editor, publisher and writer of  an online publication geared towards Armenians called IANYAN.  When I have spare time, you can find me working on my alter-ego, The Cunning Adventures of Margeaux Clyde and doing my best to make it in the crazy world of journalism. You can find my portfolio here.  When I’m not writing or dealing with writers, I like to paint, bake,knit, sew and watch Bollywood movies. I also like to take photos.

I love tea, technology, the printed word, collecting magazines, digestive biscuits, cashmere, alpacas and David Brent. I can’t live without the internet, The Smiths and John Lennon. I like babooshkas, reading children’s books, catching spelling mistakes, finding bargains, useless trivia and snow.

I dislike hypocrites, impressionable people, people who are picky about their chocolate, drivers who leave their signal lights on for 5,000 miles, parents who take infants to theme parks and social events and most people from my generation

“Writepudding” was created when my boyfriend and I put together my love for writing and his love for rice pudding. We like to eat snow cones together in Central Park. During the process, I became a big fan of rice pudding as well. Over time, “writepudding” as evolved to mean, at least to me, a way that I can write about anything I want, without limitations or restrictions, just like you can put a whole slew of ingredients to make your own special pudding.
