Early life

Scott Robert Timberg was born in Palo Alto, California, son of journalist and author Robert Timberg and Jane Timberg. He was raised in Maryland. Timberg earned a Bachelor of Arts from Wesleyan University in 1991 and a master’s degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He attended a term abroad at the University of Sussex.[6] His grandfather was composer Sammy Timberg and his great uncle was vaudevillian Herman Timberg.[7]

Career

Timberg started his journalism career at The Day (New London) in Connecticut. He moved to Los Angeles in 1997 to join the staff of New Times LA. He was a long-time staff writer for the Los Angeles Times until 2008 and a staff writer for Salon.[8] As a freelancer he wrote for the Los Angeles Review of Books, The New York Times and Los Angeles Magazine, among others. Timberg spent the longest period of his life in Los Angeles, with a year in Athens, Georgia in 2015.[6]
