Home Features Essays What's New

Welcome to DeniseSchipani.com.

A professional freelance writer and editor, I've written hundreds of features, essays, and columns for dozens of national consumer publications, including Parents, Parenting, American Baby, Redbook, Woman's Day, and Women's Health. I write the bimonthly "Mommy Confidential" column in American Baby, and the monthly "Health & Wellness" column in Parent & Child. Recently, I contributed a chapter to the book Real Simple: Weddings.

I've been an editor at magazines in the U.S. and the U.K., including Child, Bridal Guide, Zest, and All Woman, and continue to work as a freelance editor for such publications as Parenting, Babytalk, Real Simple, and Parent & Child.
