The Trend Report™ is a weekly newsletter that is part essay, part culture analysis, and part whatever the universe offers us. I watch the internet so you can spend more time offline, making sense of the chaos one trend at a time 🌱
Who writes The Trend Report™?
🐣 Kyle Raymond Fitzpatrick! I’m an American writer based in Barcelona, Spain and Los Angeles, California (if and when I’m stateside). I started The Trend Report™ as I’ve always tracked trends for work and because I have a knack for following the storylines of culture. This is as much a commentary on the idea of a Trend Report™ as it is an analysis of them. You can follow me on LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter.
📝 My journalism has appeared in outlets like Playboy, PBS, Popsugar, Cool Hunting, and more. I founded the art and culture website Los Angeles, I’m Yours too.
🛜 For years, I worked as a television producer in news and digital culture along with work as a copywriter for brands like YouTube, Google, Nickelodeon, Logitech, Robinhood, and more. Catch my portfolio here.
📚 My fiction has appeared in publications like Apogee, Quarterly West, Prism, Midnight Breakfast, Exposition Review, and more. I was a 2022 Lambda Literary Fellow and a 2019 LARB Publishing Fellow. You can find a selection of my writings here. I’m repped by Amanda Orozco at Transatlantic.

👀 Are you a medium to large business looking for more ways to keep abreast of the trends? I run another newsletter called The Trend Report™: Business Edition (aka: TR.BIZ), which serves as a daily newsroom of what’s happening in the world. It’s sent out Monday through Fridays at 8AM PST, regardless of holidays (save for two weeks around the New Year’s holiday). You can sample a few recent TR.BIZ dispatches here, here, and here. Send a message if you’re interested in this, or email at hello@thetrend.report 💋
