Welcome to Fire Edits.
An intel club for writers, editors, and content creatives from magazine & digital media pro, Faye Brennan.
Hey, Substack! I’m thrilled to be here. For the past 15 years, I’ve been trusted by national print magazines and digital sites like Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, Elite Daily, Eat This, Not That! and others to shape the narrative around health, wellness, food, fitness, relationships, and entertainment for people across the country.
Like many in my industry, I’m questioning where to go from here. The uncertainty in media is palpable (layoffs! Google! Ad spends! AI!), but I prefer to focus on the positive… which is why I started Fire Edits.
Here, we cut out all the noise that can dissuade us from pushing onward as people who love to read, write, edit, create, and make great content.
