Heather Quinlan

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

I’m a writer/ filmmaker who's producing and directing a documentary about a paved-over African-American cemetery on Staten Island called "Staten Island Graveyard." Previously, I produced and directed "If These Knishes Could Talk: The Story of the New York Accent." In November 2020 my book, "Plagues, Pandemics and Viruses: From the Plague of Athens to COVID-19", was published by Visible Ink Press. I'm a native New Yorker who's lived in all five boroughs and now lives in New Jersey.
