BURBANK, CA — Heidi Joy Pike is an adult industry veteran who’s done a little bit of everything and met just about everyone. Editor, director, writer, and more, Pike is also the latest addition to the YNOT.com editorial team.

“I worked with Heidi for years while she was my senior associate editor at AVN and was very pleased when she was one of several highly qualified candidates who responded to our call for writers,” YNOT.com editor Darklady says of the new hire.

“Heidi is a savvy, sassy, and experienced professional with a big heart, a sharp mind, and at least a few opinions – all of which I expect will lead us into many mutual adventures and result in some great site content.”

Prior to her work with AVN, Pike held the editorial wheel at John Stagliano and Evil Angel’s Buttman Magazine. One of the few industry writing talents who possesses professional erotic experience both in front of an audience, as a Seattle peep-show girl, and behind a camera, as a director for New Machine and Bad Seed, Pike’s unique insights are expected to further strengthen YNOT’s editorial offerings, while her commitment to communication and excellence should fit in well with the YNOT editorial ethos.

As for Pike, whose work began appearing on YNOT this week, the prospect of renewing a professional acquaintance and expanding her professional focus is a positive one.

“I was so very happy to be asked to write regularly for YNOT,” she assures. “I loved working with Darklady previously and could not pass up the opportunity to work with her again. YNOT is a lively, informative news site and I’m looking forward to adding my voice to it.”
