In Chapter 9 of 19 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, pop culture writer and editor Mark Graham shares how his little brother's support and encouragement has made him a better writer. Graham's younger brother, a freelance music writer and Detroit News pop culture writer, actively seeks ways to support his big brother. Trust begets mutual admiration and respect and provides a safe place where the pair can openly share criticism and feedback. This continuous sharing leads to idea exploration and potential collaboration. Mark Graham is currently a senior editor at MTV Networks. Previously he worked in editing and writing roles at New York Magazine and Gawker Media. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in English.
