Samantha Simon is a
writer and editor based
in New York City.

Hello! I’m a journalist with a passion for all things celebrity, fashion, beauty, and pop culture. I previously served as features editor of instyle, and these days you can find my work on elle.com, Allure, forbes, refinery29, and more. if you have a fun freelance writing opportunity, feel free to send it my way.

I graduated from the University of Florida with a B.S. in Telecommunications in 2013, a major that I never actually put to use but gave me a journalism degree nonetheless. Currently, I live in Manhattan with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Dexter (yes, he’s named after the fictional vigilante—it is what it is), and when I’m not in the middle of a Law & Order: SVU marathon, I am on a relentless pursuit to try every cacio e pepe that the city has to offer.
