Samantha Schnell is excited to join the team at Writopia Lab! Sam is a writer and teacher from New York City whose work has appeared in Witness Magazine and Eclectica Magazine and is forthcoming in Sonora Review. She has an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia University, but these days she mostly writes poetry. She loves working creatively with kids and teenagers and has taught writing at Columbia University, The Ali Forney Center and East Harlem Tutorial Program. When she's not writing or teaching, Sam is trying to keep up with her dog, cat and toddler, all of whom appear regularly in her poems.
