Sabrina Rubin Erdely is an award-winning feature writer and investigative journalist. She’s a Contributing Editor at Rolling Stone and a Contributing Writer at Philadelphia; her work has appeared in SELF, GQ, The New Yorker, Mother Jones, Glamour, Men’s Health and Readers Digest, among other publications, and has been anthologized twice in Best American Crime Reporting. Erdely’s feature writing and reporting have earned her a number of prestigious awards, including a National Magazine Award nomination.
As a University of Pennsylvania undergraduate, Erdely discovered her passion for magazine writing while working at 34th Street, the magazine of the student-run Daily Pennsylvanian. She soon dropped her pre-med studies, graduated in 1994 with a degree in English, and was immediately hired as a staff writer at Philadelphia. Since then Erdely has covered a wide array of fascinating subjects, including a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde; the life lessons she learned from a con man; and the disturbing case of a serial date-rapist, whose trial revealed shocking truths about the criminal justice system. For the sake of her articles, Erdely has trekked through Tibet, watched an autopsy, joined a religious cult, visited maximum-security prisons, and once tried out to be a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader. Erdely has also taught magazine writing courses at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, daughter and son. Books
