The Omniscient Mussel

I'm a classical music critic located in Southern Ontario, Canada.

I write criticism and concert reviews for area newspapers but the bulk of my writing is done for the classical music website called TheOmniscientMussel.com.

I am also the person behind the #operaplot contest that happens on Twitter from time to time. The last round was a rousing success with 32 opera houses in 4 countries contributing to a prize pool. Danielle DeNiese volunteered to judge over 500 entries.

I will be in the UK from July to September of this year and am available for journalism work or as a social media consultant.

If you are interested in advertising, the the OM is nearly two years old and averages 8000 unique visitors per month, approximately 60% of which are American.

For further traffic breakdown, details on what types of ad space is available or a fee schedule, please write to admin@theomniscientmussel.com.

In addition to the #operaplot contest, regular features include:

Spine Tinglers & The Weekly Quiz plus news, opinions, record, DVD and concert reviews as well as a healthy dose of mischief.

Press releases from around the world in English or French are solicited and may be sent to press@theomniscientmussel.com.
