Journalist, Editor, & Life Story Writer

Hello! I'm a freelance writer and editor with experience covering health, culture, psychology, art, education, work/career, food, fashion, and more. My reporting, profiles, essays, and reviews have been published variously in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The New York Times Book Review, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Oprah Daily, and ELLE, where I was a contributing writer and editor for 21 years.

I also write and edit stories for universities and nonprofits, produce health content (for the Mayo Clinic Press and other outlets), and write ad copy and branded content for local and international companies. A children's book I co-wrote—Girl Activist!—was published by Downtown Bookworks/Simon & Schuster in July 2019.

And through Let’s Write Your Story, my personal storytelling service, I help people produce books, speeches, marketing/website copy, and other written (or ghostwritten) pieces about the important chapters of their lives and careers.

If you’ve got story you'd like to tell, or a story that needs shaping and editing, please get in touch. I can help, and I would be delighted to discuss your project.
