Hi! My name is Mary Scott and I’m a Richmond, Virginia based writer. I’m currently a full-time stay-at-home mom to a very active toddler, but I try to write for as many outlets as often as I can. Professionally, I’ve been writing for print pubs since high school.

Personally, I’ve been sketching out stories for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked on staff at both a lifestyle magazine and an alt-weekly (as writer and then section editor). In a perfect world I’d have the time—and grit—to scrap it out in a newsroom. In this world, I’m happy to freelance.

I typically cover the restaurant and hospitality scene, ranging from features on aquaculture to Q&As with chefs. I also write about the visual arts, the health and wellness industry, motherhood, and travel. I’ve dabbled in copywriting, too.

I’m hoping to use this space to curate all of my published pieces and to maybe wax poetic on a blog or two if it feels right.
