Hi! I’m Ernest Wilkins, a writer based in Chicago, Illinois. Over the years, I’ve written about culture for publications ranging from Pitchfork to Complex to the Chicago Reader.

I write a newsletter and podcast called Office Hours with Ernest Wilkins. I have monthly subscriptions available for the newsletter here, but life is tough so I totally understand that readers aren't always able to financially commit to something you might only read once or twice. Game is the game.

So I met you in the middle and set up this page so you can buy me a cup of coffee anytime you feel like it. I appreciate you!
