ABOUT ME

​

Hey. Thanks for stopping by. I'm Adi and I write YA and middle grade novels, funny essays, short stories, and plays.

 

I also edit. I love editing! Recent projects include fiction, nonfiction, dissertations, video games, enhanced books, and an anthropology textbook (go ahead, ask me anything about bonobos).

 

I earned my MFA in writing at the Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier, and my undergrad degree is in voice. I used to do a lot of theater. I was also a member of, and a soloist for, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, which is the chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops.

​

I live in the Granite State with two and a half warring cats, a macaw, a magician, and a small but mighty flock of chickens.

Fun/Boring Facts About Me

  • I get called Addie a lot. My name is actually Ah-dee. Nope, I'm not saying it wrong, and it's not just my accent. I promise!

  • My mom is a writer, too. We sometimes do writer stuff together. Find us over at Just 2 Rules Editing Services.

  • I collect things. Some of my collections are Garfields, Disney's Robin Hood memorabilia, and biographies of Napoleon.

  • I can't ride a bike. :(

  • I have never had a cavity. (Fingers crossed.)

  • I don't have my ears pierced, and the thought absolutely terrifies me. (I do have tattoos, though. My latest one is a secret love letter to my favorite band.)

  • I am left handed. Can openers are my enemies.

  • I love writers. They are the best.

  • And cats. Cats are the best. Even the scraggly, bitey ones. Same goes for chickens and parrots.

  • I volunteer for an animal rescue. Volunteering for animals rescues is the best.
