Tom Soter, Writer

I am a freelance magazine/newspaper journalist. I write about anything, but my particular areas of expertise are film, television, video, real estate, and improvisational comedy. I am also a good editor, having worked for two years as associate editor at Firehouse Magazine and seven years as full-time managing editor at Habitat. For over a decade, I worked as an editorial consultant at Habitat. For the last five years, I have been the editorial director at the magazine, handling all editing, supervising and assigning writing, and authoring a feature story every month.
