Biography

Hughes attended Connecticut College where she studied government and served as editor-in-chief of the school newspaper[4] before graduating at age 20. After college she attended the Columbia Publishing Course, then began her career as a fact-checker at New York Magazine.[5]

Writing

Hughes has drawn particular attention for her writing on topics from "imposter syndrome"[6][7] to race and humor,[8] as well as for her own humor writing.[9] In 2016, HelloGiggles named Hughes to its list of "14 Women of the Internet Inspiring Us on International Women's Day"[10] and The L Magazine named Hughes to its 2014 "30 Under 30" list.[11] Brooklyn Magazine named her to its 2016 list of "100 Most Influential People in Brooklyn Culture," describing her writing for The Hairpin as "immensely, deservedly popular."[12] Interviewing Hughes in 2015, Longform Podcast describes her as "very young and...very successful in her short time in the media world;"[13] Hughes earned her editorial post at The New York Times Magazine at age 23. The Huffington Post named Hughes's Hairpin piece on her sisters[14] to its year-end list of "28 Pieces From 2014 That Should Be Required Reading For Women"[15] and Autostraddle called her piece on dressing like Cookie Lyon to battle imposter syndrome one of 2015's "best longform written by women."[16]

Advocacy

Hughes is also a cofounder of the group Writers of Color,[17][18] establishing a searchable database of contemporary writers of color in order to "create more visibility for writers of color, ease their access to publications, and build a platform that is both easy for editors to use and accurately represents the writers."[19]
