UPOD POP-UP
with Daniel Jones
Editor of New York Times’ “Modern Love” + “Tiny Love Stories”
Thursday, November 20, 2025
1 pm PT/4 pm ET
Live via Zoom

Daniel Jones is the longtime editor of The New York Times’s Modern Love column—the white whale for personal-essay writers and a cultural touchstone for readers who love sharp, tender stories about the messiness of being human. Since 2004, he’s sifted through around 10,000 submissions each year, searching for the one essay that will land with that Sunday-morning bang. Jones has edited Modern Love through its evolution into books, a hit podcast, and a TV series, all while keeping his focus on the same thing he started with, finding true, well-told stories about relationships in all their chaotic, hopeful, devastating forms. Come pitch your Modern Love or Tiny Love Stories idea or just listen for clues on how to impress him.

When: Thursday, November 20 at 1 pm PT/4 pm ET
How long: ~60 minutes
How much: $55
