About

Natalie Pompilio is a freelance writer and editor in Philadelphia.

A longtime reporter for The Philadelphia Daily News, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune, Natalie documents the world as through the eyes of ordinary people going about their lives — or facing extraordinary challenges. She reported from Baghdad as the insurgency against US military operations began gathering force, and covered Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. She regularly writes for magazines including Brain and Life and Super Lawyers as well as The Washington Post, the Associated Press and other outlets. Natalie is coauthor of a children’s book, Philadelphia A-Z (Self published, 2008) and of More Philadelphia Murals and the Stories They Tell (Temple University Press, 2006). She and her sister, Tricia Pompilio, have collaborated on two other books: Walking Philadelphia: 30 Walking Tours Exploring Art, Architecture, History and Little-Known Gems (Wilderness Press, 2017) and This Used To Be Philadelphia (Reedy Press, 2021). She holds degrees from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland, and is a rabid New York Yankees fan.
