Hello! I’m Erika W. Smith. I’m an award-winning writer and editor based in Chicago.
I have over a decade of experience in the media industry. You might know me from my past lives as the senior astrology editor at Cosmopolitan, the digital editorial director of BUST magazine, the sex and relationships writer at Refinery29, or the author of the book series Astrosex.
Currently, I’m working as a freelance journalist covering culture, sex, beauty, travel, and astrology for publications including Vogue, PopSugar, and Elle. I’m also working as a freelance copywriter and digital storyteller; my past clients include Tinder, Milani, and Masterclass.
