Chris Cohen

I'm an editor and writer based in New York City.

GQ

As the deputy site editor, I helped lead the writers, editors, and designers on our digital team to produce a website that was visited by millions of readers every month. I personally edited the wellness section, which I created when I joined the magazine in 2020. Pieces I commissioned and shipped were featured by Apple News, Longform, and Pocket as some of the best storytelling on the internet.

Below are some of my favorite stories.
