Julia Ries

I am a regular contributor to Outside Magazine, SELF Magazine, and Huffington Post. You can also find my work on VICE, Conde Nast Traveler, Well+Good, HEALTH, Healthline, and Runner's World.

I write health explainers related to what’s going on in the world around us. I take complex, timely subjects, and with a conversational voice, break down how said topic is relevant to the lives and interests of readers.

In addition to reported features and news stories, I write branded content for various corporations, including Comcast, Main Line Health, and Aqua, and my work has received awards for helping brands tell compelling stories.
