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, Bridal Guide, Real Simple, Redbook, Woman's Day, and Women's Health. I pen a monthly "Mom Advice" column for American Baby (formerly "Ask a Mom," formerly "Mommy Confidential"). Click on the "essays" tab above to see samples. Weddings are another writerly passion; I contribute regularly to Bridal Guide, where I used to be executive editor. And, 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. If you'd like to discuss a project, get more information, or obtain clips, please contact me. | ||
