Career


Lawson began his writing career at Gawker in 2007. Initially hired onto Gawker's ad sales team, Lawson secretly began participating in Gawker's active comments section under the handle LolCait, where his writing gained the attention of the editorial staff. After revealing his identity, he began providing editorial content for the site, first by selecting the week's best comments, and eventually becoming a full-time editor. Lawson gained notice for his television recaps for shows such as The Real Housewives of New York City. His posts were the most popular on the site, where they garnered 2.4 million viewers each month. He left in July 2009 to work at TV.com for five months, before returning to Gawker. Lawson left the site for the second time in late 2011 to work for The Atlantic Wire as a senior entertainment and culture writer.
In November 2013, Lawson left The Atlantic Wire to work as the Hollywood columnist at Vanity Fair. Four months later, he was hired as the magazine's TV and film critic. In March 2018, he became Vanity Fair's chief critic.
Lawson's debut novel, All We Can Do Is Wait, was released on February 6, 2018 under Razorbill. The book is a YA novel that centers on a group of teenagers in the waiting room of a hospital after a bridge collapse. All We Can Do Is Wait received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.
