Hi. Bonjour. Shalom.
C’est moi. Sara, sans h.
TL;DR: I’m a writer, editor, and content creator with over 20 years experience in publishing, media, and digital platforms. Be it a profile for the New York Times, a city guide for The Infatuation, a hotel review for Condé Nast Traveler, a press release for a hospitality brand, or a snappy company manifesto for a start-up, if you’re after storytelling with feels and facts I’m your gal.
FOR LONGFORM LOVERS: Rewind 20 years or so, and my own story started after obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in magazine journalism from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications. I did something quite unexpected for someone with such a determination to work for Jane magazine that I printed my resume on a T-shirt and submitted it via a dry cleaning hanger and a bike messenger: I set out on a six-month solo adventure to South East Asia and beyond.
Six countries and an empty bank account later, I returned to a pre-Internet bubble media world, where my first job at Bob Guccione Jr.’s indie men’s magazine Gear took me from receptionist to unofficial fashion editor before the magazine folded in 2003.
Next, at Alloy Media & Marketing, I become proficient in HTML and content management systems while captioning red carpet gowns, interviewing the likes of Ryan Gosling, and playing astrologer to tweens.
In 2006, I joined Seventeen.com as Editorial Director where I maintained the most popular teen site on the Web, creating applications like the “Period Planner,” “Meal Maker” and “Guys Talk.”
Shortly after, I became deputy Sunday features editor and Executive editor at the New York Post and Page Six Magazine. Maintaining a strong print media presence, I edited pop culture, lifestyle and entertainment stories for the Sunday Pulse section and the quarterly glossy.
In the winter of 2013, I popped across the pond to work at Fabulous, a popular weekly magazine that comes out in The Sun on Sunday.
Shortly after, I decided to pursue freelance writing full time, focusing on travel and lifestyle. I quickly realized this could be done anywhere and moved to Paris in November 2014 where I stayed for nearly 10 years before returning to the U.S. in early 2024. Et voila! That about brings us up to date. I continue to freelance for a range of reputable media outlets, but also focus on editorial consultations, branded content and editing the longform work of other writers.
