On the music front, she writes album reviews and profiles artists like Niall Horan and The Last Dinner Party. She also crafts whip-smart essays: (See: Jordan Peele's Us is his best film to date.) Before working at Esquire, she covered entertainment at NYLON. You can also find her writing in Refinery29 and InStyle. When she’s not working, McNeal is likely scouring the city for the best crab rangoon, attending a dance class, or gardening in her backyard.
