About Colleen Stinchcombe

I’m an American writer, editor, and content strategist now living in Wales, UK. I enjoy organizing content production as much as sitting down to write a good story.

Journalism and Editing

My first love is writing reported stories and editing online articles. I started my career as an editor at SheKnows.com, where I created monthly and special project editorial calendars and managed a team of freelancers.

When I moved into freelancing myself, my writing often focused environmental issues, health, and outdoor recreation in travel. I particularly love highlighting people who are solving the world’s most pressing problems. My journalism appears in The New York Times, Sierra Magazine, Outside Online, The Seattle Times, Lonely Planet, SELF, and many others. I’ve been a guest journalist on podcasts like Canada’s The Big Story, where I spoke about my coronavirus reporting on travel safety. See my journalism portfolio.

Content strategy

I’ve channeled my skills as a journalist and editor to build content strategy packages for Rover.com, research and create content marketing materials for LevelTen Energy, plan and execute content creation for Tripadvisor, and bridge SEO, sales, and editorial needs for SheKnows.com. See my content strategy portfolio and services.

I grew up in Southern California and Arizona, then spent several years in and around Seattle, Washington. In 2024, I relocated with my family to the United Kingdom near Cardiff, Wales. When not crouched over my laptop, I’m likely walking, birdwatching or curling up in any available sunbeam.
