About Bella
Bella Arnold is a journalist, writer and editor. She has two degrees in journalism — a master’s from UC Berkeley and bachelor’s from CSU, Long Beach. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from both universities.
As a journalist, Bella has been called a “genre hopper,” which she wears like a badge of honor. In her five and a half years as a reporter, she’s worked as a magazine writer, audio host and producer, copy editor, police accountability reporter, immigration reporter, fact checker, features writer, and investigative journalist.
Now, she is a freelance reporter covering culture (on and offline), the environment, and the literary industry. She writes for New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Vulture, and Bluedot Living, amongst others. She’s also a literary assistant at Writers House.
