Freelance Lifestyle Writer

Debra Waters is an experienced online editor and lifestyle writer with a focus on health, wellbeing, beauty, food and parenting. Currently, she writes for the websites GoodtoKnow and Woman&Home, and the publications Woman, Woman’s Own and Woman’s Weekly. 


Previously, Debra was digital food editor at delicious magazine and MSN. She’s written for M&S Food, Great British Chefs, loveFOOD, What to Expect, Everyday Health and Time Out, and has had articles published in The Telegraph and The Big Issue. She also studied for an MA in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmith's University in 2019.


When she’s not parenting, cooking new dishes or trying (in vain) to make her cats Instagram stars, Debra writes fiction – she won the Bridport Short Story Prize in 2020, which led to an interview on R4’s Woman’s Hour, and her stories have been long- and short-listed in a number of writing competitions.
