About the Writer
Samantha is a graduate of Radford University (B.S. English; Technical Editing and Writing) and The George Washington University (M.P.S. Publishing; Editorial/Marketing and Promotion). Her first play, "Demolition Lovers," was written during her sophomore year of high school and won the 2010 New Voices playwriting contest. She has been writing ever since. Her plays have been produced at MadLab Theatre, Northern Kentucky University, and The Pharmacy Theatre. Her play "New Year's Eve at the Stop-n-Go" was adapted into the indie film "Turbo Cola" by Covert Productions and went on to win several awards in the 2022 film festival cycle, including Best Film at the 2023 Film Threat Awards. When not working on new plays, Sam is half the team behind the Real Horrorshow Podcast and one of the founding members of Postcard Press. She lives in Virginia with her husband and cat, and she may or may not actually be two ten-year-olds in a trenchcoat.
