Susan Kellam

Susan Kellam started her career at Rolling Stone magazine when typewriters were still being flung across offices. Eventually leaving the rock-and-roll world for straight journalism, her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Washingtonian magazine, Congressional Quarterly, the Baltimore Sun, and numerous other places. She finished her full-time career as senior communications expert on domestic policy at the Brookings Institution before moving to live on a saltwater farm with two rambunctious dogs.
