Some personal news: I’m launching my own editorial services firm! I’ve spent my entire career empowering writers to do their best work, and now, I’m thrilled to continue that mission as an independent editor and business owner. (🧵1/4) adriennewestenfeld.com/services

My final act at Esquire is a fitting one: I hand-modeled my way into the role of "woman with knife" in a Chuck Palahniuk story. So proud to launch my fifth Napkin Project, featuring Chuck, Jacqueline Woodson, @dannymlavery.bsky.social, Meg Wolitzer, and Weike Wang. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

The Napkin Project (Thanksgiving Edition)

We asked five of the most electric writers to fill a blank cocktail napkin with a story about Turkey Day. Their stories will break your heart, make you laugh, disturb you—you know, like most holidays.

After nearly nine years at Esquire, I’ve been laid off from my role as Books and Fiction Editor. I’m looking for a new full-time role where I can use my storytelling skills, in the book world or beyond it. If you know of anything, I’m at adriennewestenfeld@gmail.com. (🧵1/10)
