Nechama Sammet Moring, Writer
I'm a versatile writer, though most of my work has some connection to justice, survivorship, science, and/or the good fight. I don't believe in neutrality, and I don't tell neutral stories. Cuz they don't exist.
As a freelancer, I focus on science writing, health journalism, investigation, liberation and creative non-fiction. I'm also fond of news of the weird. Here are some of my interests, and a few of the projects currently in the works:
