Austen Goslin

Austen Goslin (he/him) does a little bit of everything at Polygon, as he has for the last six years. He is currently an editor for the entertainment section, which means that most of his time is spent writing and editing stories about the latest TV shows and movies, or something old he wishes more people would watch. Austen loves all things horror, especially movies, and continues to desperately hope that George R.R. Martin releases The Winds of Winter. Share this profile Profile Rss
