Kim Tranell

Editor and Writer in Brooklyn, New York

I'm a writer/editor with 13+ years of experience telling stories, interviewing celebrities, breaking down complicated health topics, and conceiving social media campaigns/multi-platform partnerships that make important issues matter to teens. On top of that, I've directed 50+ fitness photo shoots, helped build an online community from the ground up, and wrote a book about how to look & feel younger. I'm currently the Executive Editor of Action magazine, Scholastic's resource for struggling readers. Previously, I edited Scholastic Choices magazine. Before that, I was the Senior Editor at Seventeen magazine, where I handled health- and news-related content and features, including this here project. And before Seventeen, I was an editor at Glamour. Right now, I live in Brooklyn, but I grew up in northeast PA. I love pop culture + animals (especially my rescue mutt, Miso) + music + baking + books. Let's work together! Use the button above to get in touch.
