Heather Greene

I’m a freelance editor and journalist in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m the author of the award winning book Lights, Camera, Witchcraft: A Critical History of Witches in American Film and Television.

My professional career began in advertising, public relations, and film production in New York City, or as I, being from New Jersey, call it The City. Then, in 2001, I left that corporate mess behind and dedicated my time to family (aka crying babies) and writing.

Today, I am an acquisitions consultant with Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. I have written articles most recently for the news wire Religion News Service and Religion Unpluggled. My work has appeared in The Washington Post, Associated Press, The Wild Hunt, Patheos.com, Circle Magazine, the Parliament of the World Religions online magazine and more.

I am also the former managing editor of the news journal, The Wild Hunt and have done research and writing for Turner Classic Movies and Lady Liberty League. I’m honored to say that my writing has been translated into German, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, and Thai.

My interests are strongly focused on the mystical crossroads of pop culture, history, politics, religion, art, film, and the occult. It is quite muddy there, but often colorful and loud. I’ve been studying both Witchcraft and film for over thirty years, and nobody can make me stop.

I have a B.A. in Film Studies and French from the Wesleyan University in Connecticut and an M.A. in Film Studies from Emory University. I also studied film and theater at Cornell University and the University of Paris.

I am a proud member of Circle Sanctuary, Covenant of the Goddess, Religion Newswriters Association, and my family….most of the time.
