And I’m a political writer based in New York City. As a freelance writer, my reported work on politics and public policy has been published by The American Prospect, Capital, New York, Reuters, Salon, Science Progress, Seed, and other publications. I’m a correspondent on politics and technology for The Atlantic . For three years, until the summer of 2011, I was the associate editor and lead writer at techPresident, a widely-read daily online publication of the Personal Democracy Forum. I’ve talked politics on the BBC, CNN.com, NY1, WYNC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show,” and elsewhere.
I do both short-form and long-form writing, and an archive of feature-style pieces is available here.
Born and raised in New Jersey, I lived in Washington DC from 1994 through 2005, and now make my home in Brooklyn, NY. A fuller biography is available here. On email, I’m nancy at nancyscola dot com. And on Twitter, it’s @nancyscola.
