Cynthia Leive was named editor-in-chief of GLAMOUR magazine in May 2001.

Under Leive, GLAMOUR has received a record number of editorial awards, including the 2005 National Magazine “Ellie” for General Excellence (last won by a women’s magazine in 1992) and a second-consecutive nomination in the same category in 2006; three Clarion Awards from Women in Communications; two Exceptional Merit Media Awards from the National Women’s Political Caucus; three Front Page Awards from The Newswomen’s Club of New York; and the Beth Fonda Award from the American Medical Writers Association. Leive’s first issue of GLAMOUR won the Folio Editorial Excellence Award.

Since Leive became editor-in-chief, GLAMOUR’s circulation has risen to its highest levels ever, with a rate base of 2.25 million. Crain’s put Leive on its “Top 40 Under 40” list, and she was also named one of Gotham magazine’s most powerful women under 40 in New York. In 2005–2006, under her watch, GLAMOUR was named for the first time on both Advertising Age’s “A-List” and Adweek’s “Hot List,” each of which recognize strength in circulation, advertising pages, editorial excellence and industry acclaim. Leive is president of the American Society of Magazine Editors.

Prior to joining GLAMOUR, Leive served as editor-in-chief of Self magazine; during her tenure, Self’s circulation increased by 11 percent. Before Self, Leive was deputy editor of GLAMOUR, where she worked for 11 years; there, she devised many of the magazine’s highest-rated features, edited and wrote prize-winning stories on everything from health to politics, and produced the magazine’s annual Women of the Year Awards.

A graduate of Swarthmore College, Leive began her career in publishing at The Paris Review and The Saturday Review. She lives in New York City with her husband, film producer Howard Bernstein; her daughter, Lucy; and her son, Isaac. (http://www.condenastmediakit.com/gla/editor.cfm)
