Hello!
I am a freelance writer and creative content builder, specializing in women's lifestyle, health, relationships, and popular culture. My writing can be found on The Luxury Spot, Brokelyn, and Thought Catalog, among other places, online and in my desk drawers.
In addition to writing, I also support groups that promote youth education and media literacy. I have assisted organizations in social media at various levels, from navigating first-time campaigns to improving the existing user experience. I build informational infrastructure that is accessible, compelling, and true to an organization's brand.
Copyediting, event planning, and grants writing are a few ways I have helped to drive and elevate influence for some outstanding organizations.
To get in touch, discuss a project, or find out more about my background, click the link below or send me an email. I'm a fervent believer in the Awesomeness Of People. So even if none of these reasons fit, let's talk anyway.
(Full disclosure: Cupcakes are a personal Top 10 food, but not Top 5. Just wanted to clear that up.)
Karina Briski//Brooklyn, NY
I have been on both the editorial and advertising side of copywriting and editing, contributing news, reviews and personal essays for both online and print publications. I also consult on social media and publicity campaigns for events and book releases.
Currently, I am looking to write and edit for magazines specializing in creative nonfiction, book reviews, or criticism.
