About Me

Abby Michal is a multimedia storyteller and aspiring publishing professional based in New Jersey. She graduated from Drew University with a B.A. in English and Media & Communications and a minor in Anthropology, where she explored the intersection of literature, film, digital media, and culture.

​

In the summer of 2026, Abby graduated from the Columbia Publishing Course, where she expanded her knowledge of the publishing industry and developed a strong interest in marketing and publicity. During the program’s Book Workshop, she served as the Marketing and Publicity Manager, creating promotional strategies and exploring how books connect with readers. She also worked as a User Experience Designer during the Brand Workshop, where she designed a website from the ground up for a teen cooking company.

​

Outside of publishing, Abby enjoys reading, photography, hiking, and spending time in nature. She recently launched a Substack as another creative outlet to share her writing and reflections.

​

Abby hopes to continue building a career in media and publishing, particularly in marketing and publicity, while working on projects that inspire both herself and the audiences they reach. One day, she hopes to publish a book of her own and see it displayed in the window of an independent bookstore—a small reminder of the lasting impact stories can have.
