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 [email protected]. (🧵1/10)

Imagine being dumb enough to lay off Adrienne, the smartest, hardest working person at esquire! Wild choice on their part, but fantastic news for whoever gets her next.

Happy Thanksgiving from Hearst, where nearly 200 people were laid off across all categories of editorial, ad sales, product, and PR. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

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, Daniel M. Lavery, Meg Wolitzer, and Weike Wang. esquire.com/entertainment/…

Kelly is an incredible writer and editor, but also an outstanding leader. She's taught me so much about integrity, advocacy, and how women leaders make workplaces better. One of the best things about working at Esquire was having her to look up to. Hire her!

I hate this shit. Solidarity with the members of the Thrillist union.
