Candace Ganger-Powell joined the Endgame360 team in 2019, building on a publishing career as a YA book author and freelance journalist. In her coverage on Showbiz Cheat Sheet, she focuses on shows like This Is Us, crime dramas, and the heartbreaking connections between the stars on screen and their real lives.

Her continuing work as a book author gives her some insider coverage as well, including scoops on books adapted into films.
Candace’s varied work as an author helps her adapt to each audience she writes for at Showbiz: In the past she’s ghostwritten for a Fortune 500 mogul and a middle-grade STEM series and has been an assistant editor for a nanotechnology website, to name a few. She was named one of Bustle’s most creative people to follow on Twitter in 2018, and is currently pursuing her associate’s degree in Business/Digital Marketing from Sinclair Community College.
