JQ Louise

Everyone with a smartphone claims insider access. JQ Louise spent years earning the right to actually have it.

Her credibility was forged in Boston's demanding media landscape: Editor at Time Out Boston, Food Writer at the Boston Herald, contributor to publications that didn't accept second-rate work. National bylines followed — Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Teen Vogue, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, YACHTS International.

In 2018, she authored "Boston Food Crawls" for Globe Pequot, transforming culinary expertise into something tangible and lasting.

The JQ List, launched in 2016, applies that editorial discipline to luxury travel, food, and fashion. The platform has since expanded to include Yahoo Creator status reaching millions, The JQ List Podcast featuring conversations with top hoteliers and tastemakers, and an Instagram following exceeding 111,000.

The podcast guest list signals the access she's built: Mario Carbone (the restaurateur behind Carbone and Major Food Group), Eddie Lucas (Bravo TV), Harry Navarro (celebrity makeup artist).

Her coverage extends into yachting through appearances on Yachting International Radio and exclusive reporting on private members' clubs and experiential luxury concepts targeting ultra-high-net-worth audiences.

In 2020, Northeastern University named her a Mosaic Fellow, recognizing her impact on media and storytelling.

JQ doesn't talk influencer metrics or brand partnerships. She talks the years spent building credibility — the editor roles, the hard bylines, the work that came before anyone cared follower counts. That foundation is why the access is real. Everything else follows.
