about // writing

Hi. I'm a writer and editor living in Brooklyn.

Currently, I’m a special projects editor for the Guardian US, where I commission stories on climate, environment, gender, politics, and more. Previously, I was a senior staff writer at Jezebel.

My writing has appeared in Texas Monthly, ELLE.com, VICE, Racked, Gizmodo, and other places.

I grew up in Texas, Mexico, and Arkansas and I love to write about the intersection between culture, identity and place. In 2022, I received my master of arts in labor studies at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, and co-taught a class on climate reporting at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.

I'm passionate about creating transparency in journalism and mentoring other young writers. Want to work together? Send pitches to frida.garza@theguardian.com. Got a question about freelancing, media unions, or pay rates? Email me at frida.garza@gmail.com.
