Samantha Drake
I’m a writer and an editor; I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm not sure I know how to do anything else.
Fortunately, I love finding unique stories and interesting angles. I love learning about new things and covering a wide range of subjects, from startups to Star Trek, craft beer to corpse flowers, animal cloning to the Aphonopelma johnnycashi.
I've also written a wide range of content for law firms and newsletters for attorneys published by LexisNexis/Mealey Publications on topics including asbestos, insurance, lead poisoning, personal injury, and pollution liability litigation. It's hard to believe there was a time when I had no idea what a summary judgment was.
Before becoming a full-time freelance writer and editor in 2008, I was on staff at newspapers, magazines and newsletters. I earned a B.A. in English and History from Albright College, a master’s degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, and studied at the University of London's Queen Mary College for one year.
I'm always looking for a good story idea.
