About Adam Swierk

Hi! I’m Adam Swierk: professional writer & copy editor. With a proven ability to develop intriguing and illuminating content from a unique perspective, an innate talent for conversational expertise, and keen ability to write about highly technical and complicated topics in an accessible, easy-to-understand manner, I’ve amassed an extensive and diverse professional portfolio as a writer, editor, and researcher.

I’ve primarily worked as a food and culture writer/critic/editor for Static Media since early 2022. During that time, I’ve had more than 100 feature articles and food/drink reviews published at Mashed, The Daily Meal, and Tasting Table. This includes dozens of articles that were used as scripts for videos developed for Mashed (both YouTube and Facebook pages).

I appeared on two different History Channel shows (in 2024) providing on-camera expert commentary on a variety of subjects, including three episodes of “Mega-Brands that Built America” Season 2, and an episode of “Food that Built America” Season 5.

Previously, I collaborated with a prominent LA-based therapist to research and ghostwrite a self-help book, which was published in 2022 (“Wired for Happiness”). I’ve also worked as a writer for a website focused on neurological and neuropsychological research, along with several stints as a content writer and creator for various websites and blogging companies.

In addition, I’m a Tufts University-educated sociologist, a former 90s latchkey kid, passionate essayist, and intricate storyteller. In short, I’m driven to write engaging stories that take readers on an emotional journey: to craft compelling narratives that are structurally sound with three-dimensional characters.
