About Nicole Carpenter
Welcome to Save Spot
This is Save Spot. I’m Nicole Carpenter, a reporter with more than 10 years of experience covering the video game industry. For the past six years, I’ve worked at Polygon. Cut loose from Polygon when Vox Media sold the site to Valnet, I’m now working independently. Save Spot is a place for me to collect and share the work I’ve published around the internet.
I’ll also use Save Spot to share what I’ve learned about freelance journalism; pulling experience from my past stints as a freelancer, and figuring out what’s changed since then.
