Susan Zimmerman is a magazine writer and journalist based in St. Louis, Missouri. She specializes in history, travel, and nature topics for publications worldwide. Over the past several decades her work has taken her on journeys from South Africa to the Svalbard Archipelago. Her passion for unusual stories has led her down many a road untraveled, covering cheetah conservation in Namibia to glacier trekking in Iceland. An assignment about the devastation left by battles toward the end of World War II across Finnmark, Norway in northernmost Europe, led to an enduring search for writing about the untold stories of that era. For her article on the Japanese American Internment she spent endless hours researching archives to piece together the truth of this tragic history.
