Perry Carpenter

Perry Carpenter has been writing about entertainment news for more than 20 years and joined the Showbiz Cheat Sheet team in 2019.

Perry’s experience translates to covering multiple topics with expertise. She writes about the British royal family, reality TV shows including The Challenge and The Real Housewives, and popular dramas like Yellowstone and Outlander. Perry can wholeheartedly claim her status as an Outlander fan and expert on our team: She started reading the books 10 years before the show started, and has reread the series each time Diana Gabaldon releases a new one. She’s also visited Scotland four times and visited a location mentioned in the books on each trip.

Perry is also a member of the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors. A storied freelance career before her tenure at Showbiz means that you can find more from Perry at Oola, Reality Blurb, Inhabitat, Inquisitr, and her Muck Rack profile.
