Hi, I’m Rachel Epstein!

I’m a writer, editor, and content strategist based in New York City. Currently, I’m the deputy editor at Men’s Health, where I oversee the content across MensHealth.com, edit long-form features and service packages, and help shape the brand’s digital editorial strategy. In 2023, I edited a special report on the dangers of America’s sports-betting boom, which was nominated for a National Magazine Award.

Previously, I was an editor at Marie Claire. During my 4.5 years at the brand, I wrote and edited culture, politics, and lifestyle stories, including op-eds, interviews, ambitious packages, and high-profile series. I also managed the virtual book club, #ReadWithMC, and meticulously planned the site’s live event coverage that led to MC’s record search traffic growth.

Most recently, I was the managing editor at Coveteur, where I oversaw the site’s daily editorial operations, edited stories across the fashion, beauty, and living verticals, established new editorial processes to streamline workflow, and more.

I graduated from Florida State University with degrees in English (Editing, Writing, & Media) and Public Relations. You can view my full MC author profile here, my full Men’s Health author profile here, and select writing and editing work on this site.
