Welcome.

I’m Laura Schiller, a Westchester-based journalist covering arts, culture, and community life.

My work spotlights the people, places, and creativity that make the region vibrant—from musicians and performing arts organizations to local community events, new business openings, and the everyday voices shaping life in Westchester.

I’m driven by curiosity and a belief that every community has compelling stories worth telling. I’d love to help you share yours — whether it’s through editorial assignments, features, or profiles that connect with readers and celebrate the richness of local life.

I’m always excited to explore new publications and reach new audiences. Let’s collaborate on spreading the word!
