Charleston Contributor

Sam is a freelance writer and nonprofit professional based in Charleston, South Carolina. He is the former editor of the independent alternative-weekly Charleston City Paper, where his favorite cover stories included photos of kids and their parents with their faces swapped, a chronicle of Charleston’s best public bathrooms, and a cheeky cooking issue that included a recipe for raccoon stew. (God bless alt-weeklies.) Sam’s tip for Charleston visitors? Beat the crowds and walk downtown. There aren’t many places like it.
