Setelah berkontribusi sebagai kolumnis, Fauset menjadi editor sastra di majalah milik NAACP, The Crisis, sejak tahun 1919 sampai dengan 1926, pada masa kejayaan Harlem Renaissance. Selama periode itu, dia memberikan dorongan kepada beberapa penulis muda. Dia juga menjadi editor dan penulis di majalah kaum Afrika-Amerika Serikat, The Brownies' Book.
