Jake Arky

Jake Arky is a graduate and alumni from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2008 with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree in Dramatic Writing and a minor in sociology. After leaving the East Coast for California, Jake has spent his career specializing in the development of SEO content creation in the legal, insurance, and financial sectors within the scope of his writing, including projects, for eJustice, High Rank Solutions, GoBankingRates, and White Gorilla Media. In 2009, Jake co-founded So Say We All (SSWA), a 501c3 literary and performing, arts non-profit organization whose mission is to create opportunities for individuals to tell their stories, and tell them better, through three core priorities: publishing, performance, and education. In addition to the programs made available to the public, SSWA offers education outreach programs specifically targeting communities who have been talked about disproportionately more than heard from in mainstream media. When he is not at his desk writing, Jake enjoys going to the movies and theatre, cooking, and spending time in the outdoors—including camping, hiking and swimming. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Sam, and their little rescue dog, Barry.
