Hello,
I’m Meena Alexander.
I’m an award-winning journalist and editor.

I write about people, places and what’s bubbling beneath the surface of our cultural moment. If you need a fascinating long read, refreshingly frank interview or an editorial expert with 10 years’ of experience on your side, drop me a line.

Formerly the Associate Editor of Stylist, I’ve also held roles at The Times, consulted on non-fiction books, judged literary prizes and chaired live panels.

I’m too nosy to have a niche. I’ve profiled everyone from Dame Helen Mirren and Bernardine Evaristo to Cara Delevingne and Malala. I’ve travelled to LA to infiltrate the notoriously secretive Barbie HQ, interviewed 100 women for a feature on body image, and launched national media campaigns to push the needle on miscarriage care and violence against women.

I’m the author of How To Be Curious: Ideas To Make You Think Differently, which was published by Headline Books in 2024.

In 2023 I was named Best Section Editor by the British Society Of Magazine Editors and appeared on the Professional Publishers Association’s Next Gen list. The year before that, I was one of Campaign’s Media 30 Under 30. I barely mention it, promise.
