Jo Rosenthal is a New York-based writer, artist, and woman about town specializing in fashion, art, and culture. With a background in Fine Arts and Writing from The New School for Design, Jo has been writing for as long as she can remember. What began as a hobby turned into a passion, leading her to contribute to multiple websites as a fashion and culture writer, as well as publish zines and books that can be found at zine fairs around the world, at Printed Matter, and in the MoMa library.

In her spare time, you’ll find Jo recipe testing artisanal dishes in her kitchen or writing in her journal, filled with prompts and short story ideas. She loves to immerse herself in literature, explore the city's vibrant streets, and publishes a weekly Substack newsletter on modern dating and self-discovery in New York.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Jo to learn more about her life as a writer-artist and her passion for crafting compelling stories through digital media that resonate with audiences near and far. Read more below.
