Libby Ryan

Journalist & Editor

I'm a journalist and editor covering culture, health, and travel. I'm especially drawn to stories about gender disparities, overlooked health conditions, overblown wellness crazes, sustainable (and doable!) lifestyle trends, and ethical travel. I recently moved to London after nearly five years working in media in New York City but my softspot for UK TV long predates my expat status. If you're looking for an editor who can talk Love Island drama and immigration policy in the same conversation, let's work together! Check out some of my previous editing and writing projects below.

Editing Work

I've edited projects covering culture, health, and current events, including managing Parents.com's daily news coverage through 2020—racial justice protests, the U.S. presidential election, and the coronavirus pandemic. And I'm always eager to dive deep into the latest TikTok crazes and Instagram trends. I also have experience editing reporting and personal essays on highly sensitive topics, such as race, gender, pregnancy loss, and sexual abuse. I love working with writers to make their stories the absolute best version it can possibly be.

Written Work

I've covered women's health, politics, pop culture, and travel. I’m equally excited about diving deep into the latest wellness craze trending on TikTok as I am discussing how this season of Love Island reflects post-pandemic dating culture—or breaking down why menstrual side effects deserve more than a casual mention at coronavirus vaccine appointments for people with already severe period pain.
