Joel Cornell is a Staff Writer at How-To Geek. He’s been writing professionally for twelve years, honing his craft by writing about technology and other subjects for a variety of industries.

Most recently, Joel worked with a small print shop named AlphaGraphics Loudoun. The company provides clients with top-tier editorial and marketing services, focusing on local nonprofits and charities to ensure their voices were heard. He edited comic books and young adult novels, managed social media and digital campaigns, and advised the company on strategy, security, and technology.

Joel worked with GameSkinny and the Launch Media Network since its inception seven years ago, contributing a wide variety of strategy and content to this media platform, including interviews, features, editorials, reviews, previews, and occasional industry event coverage.

As a Technical Writer for PBS, he led technical documentation for the company's metadata API and contributed to its automated testing and data migration teams.

When he’s not writing for How-To Geek, Joel’s either worldbuilding, honing his skills in a fighting game, or out on the trail with his dogs. He earned his B.A. in English from George Mason University. You can see the long list of his works on his LinkedIn or on his website.
