ABOUT ERIKA RILEY

headshot2.jpg
 

I am a freelance writer currently based in Frederick, Maryland, with roots in both New York and Illinois. I enjoy in-depth reporting and storytelling, although I also have strong SEO and blog-writing skills.

After graduating from Knox College with a degree in creative writing and journalism, I interned at LNP + LancasterOnline, the daily newspaper and site of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After that summer, I joined the team at the Frederick News-Post in Maryland as the business reporter. After almost two years covering the business community, I transitioned to writing freelance full-time.

I am a regular contributor at StreetEasy, the NYC-specific Zillow brand, where I write posts highlighting deals and explaining SEO-driven topics like housing vouchers and rent stabilization.

Additionally, I regularly write for clients with varying audiences, including BioBuzz, HomeLight, From Day One, and Affordable Colleges Online.

I am passionate about stories centering on labor and housing, but I also love writing human interest pieces and lifestyle features. Additionally, I love researching new topics and diving into data.
