About Joy Huddleston

Joy Huddleston is a freelance writer for Screen Rant. She has had a ion for manga and anime since she was young, ever since she discovered one of her favorite movies, The Sea Prince and the Fire Child. Her love for the genre was rekindled during her years at Northwest Missouri State University, where she served on the executive board for the school's anime club. She is proud to have earned her Bachelor's in Applied Advertising and her Master's in Creative Writing after several years fueled by spite and Dr. Pepper. When she's not writing for Screen Rant, she's working on writing her own fantasy books or laughing way too hard at mediocre jokes online.
