Sarah Weinman

Sarah Weinman, an Associate Editor at Filthy Habits, is still perplexed how she ended up a full-time freelancer living in New York City. She drinks too much coffee, eats too much dessert, and never met a deadline she didn’t want to beat. When not chained to her computer she can be found wandering the streets attempting to stretch her mezzo-soprano vocal range back to its original soprano. When she grows up she would like to own a dog, a grand piano and a pinball machine, not necessarily in that order. Visit her at http://www.sarahweinman.com.
