She eventually came to support herself by writing and editing the site full-time.[6]Bookslut ran for 14 years, with the last issue announced in May 2016.[7]Bookslut received mentions in many national and international newspapers, including The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post.
In 2005, Crispin kept a diary about her work on books for The Guardian.[8] Crispin had a regular column in the online cultural journal The Smart Set, published by Drexel University.

2018年、クリスピンはニコラス・ロドリゲス・メロというボーイフレンドと結婚した。これは彼のビザをスポンサーするためでもあった[ 13 ]。そして、男性らしさと女性らしさのパフォーマンスについて語る自身のポッドキャスト「パブリック・インテリクチュアル」で彼にインタビューを行った[ 14 ]。彼女は過去に既婚女性を批判しており、「結婚の歴史は女性を所有物のように扱うことであり、結婚することでその歴史を正当化している」と述べている[ 15 ] 。
