I am a journalist based in New York City. My stories have appeared in Isotope: A Journal of Literary Science and Nature Writing, the New York Times, Mother Jones Magazine, OnEarth Magazine, and on the programs Radiolab and This American Life, among others. Most recently, I spent time reporting on a fish in Southeast Asia with the aid of a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship.

Before becoming a journalist, I was an associate editor for philosophy, classics and religion at Oxford University Press. I've also worked on a film — Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes for PBS's American Masters Series — and served as a writer at Sotheby's auction house, where I specialized in twentieth century art.

I hold degrees in English literature and journalism from Columbia University. I particularly enjoy writing for young readers and love to speak to students at schools around New York.

I would be happy to hear from you at Emily.Voigt [at] gmail.com.
