Kristin Canning

Freelance Journalist and Editor at SELF Magazine

I'm a freelance journalist and the former features director at Women's Health Magazine. I’ve spent over a decade reporting and editing for print and digital publications, holding prior positions at Health, SELF, and Men's Health, and freelancing for Marie Claire, SELF, WIRED, Travel + Leisure, Glamour, and WebMD.

My clips span a wide variety of content styles, including long-form, research-and-reporting-heavy features, personal essays and as-told-tos, cultural analysis, service journalism, and gear testing and reviews. I'm particularly interested in emerging health research and technology, mental health, reproductive justice, adventure travel, and the intersection of wellness, feminism, and culture.
