Hi there and thanks for checking me out. I'm an independent content writer and editor, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and with over 25 years of experience in the beauty business. An award-winning journalist and former beauty director in the UK, I've worked across a broad range of titles, from glossy bi-monthly magazines to the fast-paced digital market. I'm a Brit, but have worked in the US for more than 12 years and have seamlessly adapted my writing to suit the North American market. I can adapt my writing to suit all requirements – from web creation and product pages through to blog writing and promotional work and, while my passion is to create my own, individual content, I am also happy to thoughtfully apply AI tools to accelerate flow and tighten timelines. Here are a few words from previous employers to give you a taste of who I am in the workplace... Jane Ennis, Editorial Director, Reveal Magazine, Hearst UK "Georgia is a rare animal: a beauty writer that not only knows her subject backwards, but can really write. She has a wonderfully humorous style that keeps you reading as you painlessly absorb useful facts. In my very long career, I have worked with dozens of beauty editors and would rank her in my top three. (She's also conscientious, meets deadlines, keeps within budget and is very charming.)" Liz McCarthy, Founding Partner at Lizzie Loves Ltd. UK "I first met Georgia on a beauty advertising campaign, when she was employed by the brand as thought leader and authority in her field. She added value at every level, and during the time she advised on the campaign the brand went from unknown to market leader. Since then I have worked with Georgia across a number of roles, where she has brought her knowledge and dynamism to a wide range of skills from editor and writer, to mentor and social media expert." If you think I'd be a good fit for a forthcoming project, please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks, Georgia. (updated: 02/09/26)
