Hello!

I’m a writer and editor with a decade of experience at the intersection of glossy magazines and book publishing.

I help writers sharpen their craft, turbocharge their creativity, and achieve their publication goals.

Once every month, I host a free “Ask Adrienne Anything” session over Zoom. For one hour, I’ll take questions about writing, editing, and publishing, and I’ll share what I know with the community. If you’re interested in working together, we can chat informally about that, too. Think of it like an office hour—you can stop by anytime and stay as long (or as little!) as you like.
