My name is AnnaMaria Stephens and I am a freelance writer based in Southern California. I cover lots of different stuff, but mostly arts and culture. I've written for Fodor's, San Diego CityBeat, Riviera, Interiors, Nikki Style, San Diego Union-Tribune, Where, Guestbook, and more. I'm also a regular guest on KPBS radio. Check out my resume for more deets. Uccellini, by the way, means "little birds" in Italian. The idea is that birds of a feather flock together. Thanks for stopping by.

Wanna see some recent work?

San Diego CityBeat: I mostly cover music and art for the alt-weekly but occasionally take on newsy bits or longer feature writing.

Too lazy to read? Just listen instead.

I am a frequent guest on the Weekend Preview segment of "These Days," a daily morning show on KPBS, 89.5 FM (San Diego's NPR affiliate station). I talk about bands that are coming through town, and try to introduce listeners to music they probably never have heard. Tune in Thursdays at 10:45 a.m. Or, click here to download a recent podcast.
