about / Drew Rupard





I’m a writer and reader from a military family, and grew up in equal parts Maryland, Georgia, and Utah. All the road trips I endured in childhood with my father and sisters instilled in me a love of guitar-heavy dad music and an obsession with America and its stories.

I work as a copywriter at Harrison / Star, a pharmaceutical marketing agency based in New York City. I’ve written for Merck, Daiichi Sankyo, Sun, BeiGene, Regeneron, Pfizer, Takeda, Gilead, and Genentech-Roche, with a special focus on cancer medications, as well as products for HIV and psoriatic conditions.

In my spare time I write poems and songs and work on sewing projects. Some of my favorite things include early Death Cab for Cutie, Wikipedia pages about obscure ancient civilizations, and tomatoes in any iteration.
