Who am I?

My name is Jon Negroni and I’m a writer of books, pop culture theories, and entertainment reviews. These days, I mainly write original fiction, including novels and short stories for various publications. I also host several podcasts, which you can find in the website menu.

I started this blog in 2012 to write about all the things I care about. Naturally, I gravitated toward some of my biggest passions: film and entertainment. This eventually led me to publishing my first book, The Pixar Theory, in 2015. It was based on the viral blog post I wrote here in 2013. Sadly, the publisher went out of business a bunch of years ago, and I’m actively working on releasing a newer, bigger version of the book someday.

To date, I’ve written several novels and even some serial fiction. My first published one was Killerjoy, a fantasy adventure novel that combines everything I love about superheroes and comic books with traditional epic fantasy. It also went out of print a few years ago after COVID-19 rocked the world over, but the audiobook is still available.

I’m also the cofounder of InBetweenDrafts—a pop culture news platform—and currently serve as its Podcast Editor. This is why you’ll notice many of my blog posts started showing up over there instead of this website a while back. After years of being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic and member of the Critics Choice Association, I’ve started transitioning more fully to being a fiction writer. So this website will mainly serve as a place for me to publish original stories and announcements about my books and such.

Here are a few things you can do while you’re here:

Subscribe to my Free Substack. You’ll be notified when I publish something new that might be interesting enough to read. You can also follow this blog if you haven’t already.

Send me a friendly message. Email jonnegroni@gmail.com for any and all inquiries.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the site, so I can improve it as we go from here. Thanks for reading and enjoy the words.

  4. Question. I tried looking everywhere, but I couldn’t find a way to read The Pixar Theory book. Could someone maybe tell me where I can read it. I also wanna know if it’s just a audio-book, or if there’s a paperback or hardcover copy. I hope to hear back soon! 😎
