Aliah Wright
[edit]Author and Philadelphia native Aliah Wright worked her way through college as an editorial assistant for The Philadelphia Daily News and as a stringer for The Philadelphia Inquirer. A writer and former entertainment editor, she spent a successful journalism career working for a variety of news outlets. Those include The Associated Press, where she was a Political Correspondent, and at what is now known as Gannett | USA TODAY Network, where she was the Entertainment Editor for Gannett News Service. [1] A Temple University graduate with a 2024 certification in Digital Marketing Strategy from Harvard Business School Online,[2] she lives with her family just outside Philadelphia. She is the author of ''Now You Owe Me," [3] (Red Hen Press, 2024) a critically acclaimed novel about twin serial killers stalking college co-eds in Central Pennsylvania. She is also the author of the publishers' bestseller, "A Necessary Evil: Managing Employee Activity on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn .... and the Hundreds of Other Social Media Sites" [4] (SHRM, 2013). The text book, "A Necessary Evil," grew out of the many articles she wrote as an online editor/manager for the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) where she wrote extensively for nearly 10 years about human resources and technology. People were getting fired for posting controversial content on social media sites that employers found untoward[5] so Wright pitched the book as a manual on social media strategy and engagement. She toured the country as well as Europe, Asia, and Canada discussing the topic. When she's not working in marketing, writing, traveling abroad, or studying serial killers, she makes instructional videos on the craft of writing you can find on TikTok or Instagram.
Early Career
[edit]A product of the Philadelphia School system, Aliah Wright earned a degree in journalism from Temple University in Philadelphia, where she majore in journalism and minored in sociology. She began working at the Philadelphia Daily News as an editorial assistant and began writing professionally at 18, where her work was printed in both the Philadelphia Daily News as well as The Philadelphia Inquirer. At the time, she was the first person to work on both staffs simultaneously in two separate newsrooms. Wright's first job out of college was as a police reporter for the Greenville News in Greenville, S.C.[6] She also worked at a number of other smaller publications.
