About

Alyssa Giacobbe

Writer + Editor

I’ve been writing and editing for magazines since 1998, when I began my career as a features assistant at ELLE. I have since held staff positions at Harper’s Bazaar, Teen Vogue, Boston, and DuJour, and contributing editor posts at Lucky and Architectural Digest. As a journalist, I write about lifestyle, crime, and everything in between: I’ve gotten mani-pedis with reality stars, off-roaded through the Sahara, trailed drug traffickers and sex offenders, and been stood up by Molly Ringwald. I also write books—including That’s What Fashion Is (St. Martins Press), co-authored with Joe Zee, and the forthcoming Mean (Simon Element), co-authored with Tracy Vaillancourt, Ph.D.—and create branded entertainment, like The Conversation Piece, an original digital magazine I produced for eBay on behalf of Architectural Digest, and The Drop In, a video series I story-produced for WIRED and Dropbox. I am a content strategist and copywriter for brands that include Bluemercury, West Elm, and Draper James, and an affiliate professor in the writing department at Emerson College. I teach yoga for Portland Power Yoga and have my Level 1 certificate to coach CrossFit. I live in Portland, Maine.
