Rodale’s Scuba Diving Magazine has announced that Deborah Kirk will be joining the staff as Travel Editor. A former Features Editor at Elle and Harper’s Bazaar and Contributing Editor at Details magazine, Deborah brings a wealth of editorial experience and talent to the position.
In addition to her editing experience, Deborah is a widely published features writer with contributions to Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone and Mode and travel features on destinations including Panama, Mexico and Bulgaria in Travel & Leisure. She is also an avid diver with advanced open-water certification and medic first-aid training. Deborah has dived extensively in destinations from Honduras and the Bahamas to Tahiti and Bora Bora.
Deborah’s primary responsibilities at Scuba Diving will be editing the front-of-the-book Currents section and editing Scuba Diving’s travel coverage including dive guides, the "Drive & Dive" department and "Dive Log" features. She’ll be spending some time on the road and writing many of the dive guides herself.
