Hi! You’ve reached the site of
Sami Main — author, researcher, and fan of creativity.

Author:

I published my first book through HarperCollins in 2018 in the young adult/non-fiction category titled “How to Deal: Tarot for Everyday Life”. This was eventually packaged as a boxset with the tarot cards featured in the book through Urban Outfitters.


Researcher:

I am a graduate of Union Theological Seminary (the premier progressive seminary in the country) with a Master of Divinity degree with a concentration in church history, specifically.


Creative:

I’ve happily performed improv comedy for over a decade. GQ once described me as “improbably tiny, like she was born inside the Internet and was only recently raised to human size within the confines of this brightly colored office.”

 

In addition to dozens of articles I wrote for BuzzFeed and Adweek while on staff,
these three pieces highlight some of my other published work. I have also written about my time at BuzzFeed for Fast Company.

Resume

With a prior career in digital media, I also have experience in freelance writing/editing before training to become a certified life coach. My book, How to Deal: Tarot for Everyday Life, was published in 2018 by Harper Collins. In 2020, I started pursuing an MDiv degree at Union Theological Seminary.
