Taylor Sterling is a creative director & writer specializing in editorial direction, art direction, and visual research. She also publishes Moonbow, a newsletter about children’s literature.

These days, I'm usually reading, researching, and writing. I craft idea-driven articles about books, music, art, and culture, but my favorite topic is children's literature. On my nightstand, you'll likely find a copy of Goodnight Moon alongside Anna Karenina.

For over ten years, I served as the founder, creative director, and writer for Glitter Guide, a popular digital publication that reached millions of readers and partnered with brands such as Target, Nordstrom, Estée Lauder, J.Crew, and Old Navy. Glitter Guide's tagline and hashtag, #flashesofdelight, has garnered over 14 million shares on Instagram. In 2016, Glitter Guide won the "Best Entertaining Blog" award from Bloglovin's readers, and in 2018, I was named a Create & Cultivate Top 100 honoree. My work has been featured in Elle Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, The San Francisco Chronicle, and Vogue.com.

I collaborate directly with clients and studios on creative direction, art direction, copywriting, and digital media consulting. I shepherd creative ideas from concept to production, assisting brands and individuals in strategizing and executing their projects to enhance their digital presence. Additionally, I partner with brands to develop and design lifestyle products. You can explore some examples of my work here.

I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband, two children, and our rescue dog, Lucca.

“Taylor Sterling has built a strong community through Moonbow, her thoughtful newsletter that discusses books, creators, and other storytelling forms in conversation with one another. She understands how to connect people through books using the current (and ever-changing) social media landscape. And she approaches everything she does with a deep respect for children's books. Not only is Taylor an engaging participant in the Kidlit community online, but she is also an amazing connector in person. As I've chatted with her about my books, she has offered incredible ideas about how to build a conversation around my book and connect with others in a meaningful way.” — Rachel Wilson, author and illustrator of children’s books
