About Deven McClure

Originally from California where she studied arts and child development, Deven McClure moved to New York in 2017. After her move, she attended Gotham Writing School with a focus on article and television writing. She now lives in Brooklyn with her boyfriend and cats, Timmy and Tommy - named after the two adorable Animal Crossing characters, of course.

Industry Focus

Deven has worked for Screen Rant since 2021, and is currently a Senior Gaming and PR Exclusives writer. She specializes in interviews, frequently attending media events like red carpet premieres, previews, and junkets to talk with stars about new television and film releases and breaking exclusive news about projects.

Favorite Media

First becoming obsessed with Animal Crossing for the Gamecube at 8 years old, simulation games still hold a special place in her heart, although she's grown to love turn-based titles and story games as well. When it comes to movies and television, she adores comedies, animation, and experimental absurdist films.
