Molly Rosen

Molly Rosen is a writer, teacher, entrepreneur, and Contributing Editor at The Cut, where she writes first-person essays that braid cultural criticism with personal narrative around motherhood, fashion, feminism, family, and pop culture. She graduated from Brown University and earned an MFA from The New School. 

She is the founder of Brooklyn Writers Collective, a creative incubator writers shape essays, stories, books, and brands that reflect the depth and complexity of their personal lives. Work born in BWC workshops has appeared in The New York Times, The Moth, The Rumpus, Vogue, and New York Magazine, and has gone on to be published by Random House, Metropolitan, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster, with New York Times bestsellers among them.

A longtime magazine editor, Molly has held editorial roles at Nylon, Red, Jane, Vogue, Domino, Dossier, and YM. Her first book, Love, Lust & Weddings for the Wild at Heart, was published by Random House in 2018. Her forthcoming memoir, Magic Man, explores sexuality and single motherhood in a post-#MeToo world.
