Background

About Vivien Schweitzer

I am a contributor to The Economist, The New York Times and The American Scholar. I’ve written data-driven reports for Investopedia, worked as a reporter and copyeditor for The Moscow Times and filed stories from Tajikistan, Turkey and many other countries. My book,"A Mad Love: An Introduction to Opera,” was named one of The New Yorker's "Best Books We Read in 2021." My experience simplifying a complex subject like opera has proven invaluable as a copywriter in the business world, where I decode jargon-heavy subjects like tech, retail and finance. My ability to meet tight deadlines has been an asset in corporate settings, where I use my storytelling skills to create content such as succinct and engaging case studies. I am also an experienced photographer and podcaster, proficient in SEO tools, Adobe Creative Suite, Descript, Wordpress and other digital storytelling platforms.
