Mirel K. Zaman

Writer. Editor. Creative Consultant.

I’m a journalist who’s been reporting on health, wellness, and culture for 14 years. I’m currently the Wellness Director at POPSUGAR, and was previously the Director of Life, Wellbeing, & Social Issues at Refinery29 and the Senior Health and Features Editor at Shape magazine.

My primary focus have been wellness: mental health, physical health, fitness, sex & relationships, spirituality, gender, beauty, and culture. More recently, I’ve branched out into news, politics, and lifestyle. I’m a strong writer and top-editor, and I’ve also dabbled in SEO writing and creative consulting.

My experience includes print and digital publications: POPSUGAR, Refinery29, Shape, First for Women, Kiwi Magazine, Life.io, Hartford Advocate, Yankee Magazine, and more.
