I am a Brooklyn-based writer, editor, and editorial strategist.

 

​​                                               By day, I oversee content strategy for Op-Med, the editorial affiliate of the medical                                                 network Doximity. In my role as a senior editor, I write and edit articles on                                                               contemporary issues in healthcare, develop partnerships with freelance writers,                                                     and lead a team of 40 writing fellows.

 

                                               By night, I work on my own writing and editing projects, including my blog, Brief                                                     Encounters. I also occasionally take on freelance assignments. Currently, I’m                                                         looking to write more about art, particularly textiles — get in touch if you have an                                                   exhibition you’d like me to review or interview you about!

 

Sometimes I read my work or participate on panels with other writers and artists. To see me in person, click here. And to connect with me about a freelance gig, send me an email at joy.westerman [@] gmail.com.
