I’m Carly Schwartz: a writer, editor, and media entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience as a professional storyteller.

I facilitate storytelling workshops all over the world, and I provide editorial consulting services for organizations ranging from mental health to politics to climate tech.

As a journalist, I’ve founded several endeavors—including a feminist magazine and a media lab in the jungle—and I most recently served as editor-in-chief of San Francisco’s oldest newspaper.

My first book, a memoir about my adventures overcoming depression and addiction, will be published in Spring 2026 (stay tuned for more details soon!).
