Hi! I’m Gabriela Garcia, a writer, editor, and brand consultant based in Chicago.

A little about me

  • I'm a writer and editor who specializes in creating and managing content for the beauty, lifestyle, and wellness space. With a focus on content strategy, I help brands and publications connect with audiences through compelling stories, actionable advice, and irresistible offers. I have more than a decade of experience as a content creator in the digital media, corporate, and non-profit sectors.

  • I am currently the Senior Commerce Editor at WellandGood.com and Livestrong.com. In this role, I crafted brand voice, established a comprehensive brand style guide with rigorous testing guidelines, and implemented a cross-platform commerce content strategy.

  • I was most recently the Senior Beauty Editor at Editorialist.com where I led the vertical through expansive growth. Previously, I was an editor at The Everygirl Media Group, and my work can be seen in Fashionista, Bustle, The Pioneer Woman, Glamour, Her Agenda, Remezcla, and more.

  • I’m a beauty expert whose work is cultivated by years of research, writing, and reporting on the latest trends and developments. I have also honed my skills in lifestyle, wellness, style, culture, film/tv, food, and parenting landscapes.

  • I am well-versed in SEO, content strategy, copywriting, brand campaigns, social media copy, prompt engineering, and generative AI.

No matter your scope or format, let’s work together to deliver your story with impact and precision.
