Margaret Rhodes

I’m an editor and culture writer in New York, currently editing books and zines with A24’s publishing team. My work shows up in a mix of other places: in special projects and articles for outlets like New York magazine, and in editorial and brand writing projects for companies like Google and Pentagram.

Previously I was a senior editor at New York magazine, editing features for The Strategist. Before that I was a staff writer at WIRED, where I covered the many facets of the design world.
