Words, thoughtfully strung together, can make a difference.
Carren is a thoughtful editor who cares passionately about the stories. For her, each story is an entry into another reality. She is the Deputy Managing Editor at Stacker, a data-driven newswire. Previously, she was the digital producer for arts and culture at L.A. PBS station KCET, where she oversaw the Arts & Culture, Food, Travel, and History sections, as well as special projects. She has helped shape stories on the Black Wall Streets then and now, the inner workings of book ban machines, the deep well of expertise in a $1.50 taco, and the resurgence of Chicano soul music to name a few.
What people are saying.
“Working with Carren is every writer's dream! She's an incredibly thoughtful and collaborative editor. With assignments, she puts a lot of work into the brief to give essential background information and clear guideposts.
The editing process is extremely collaborative as well--it's a team effort with the focus on producing the best possible piece. Carren puts a lot of emphasis on proper sourcing, clarity, and putting out a polished product. Because of how closely we have worked together in the editing process, I have a better understanding of what editors look for in a story, and I can better write toward that goal (which helps the entire team in the long run).
Carren has a great eye for story, and she's been able to pull the best out of me. I've grown so much as a writer from working with her, and I'm incredibly grateful that I've had the opportunity to do so.

“She's an incredibly thoughtful and supportive editor who has helped me craft stories that are among my proudest moments as a journalist thanks to her valuable insights. I'm especially grateful for her commitment as an editor and a writer to cover communities often overlooked in mainstream media. I'm a huge fan of her work and anyone who has the opportunity to work with Carren will find that the relationship you develop with her will be one to treasure.”
