Featured Client: Corie Adjmi

We’re excited to present our featured client, Corie Adjmi!

Corie Adjmi writes long, delicate sentences that ease readers through surprising descriptions and language. She also writes hectic, fast-paced prose that, coupled with the momentum of her scenes, gets your heart racing in anticipation of what’s coming next. And it is her ability to sense when either style is appropriate and move back and forth between the two that makes her work so enjoyable. When Corie first submitted to our Review Board in 2001, we knew we’d found a special writer—and she now has over a dozen acceptances, a Pushcart Prize nomination, and a number of other accolades to prove us right.

Corie Adjmi’s Journey, In Her Own Words:

Submitting to the Writer’s Relief Review Board took a leap of faith. I wanted to get a short story published and I believed that if Writer’s Relief liked my story enough to take me on as a client, someone else might like it too. At the time, I had no intention of writing full-time or publishing more than that one story. But when Writer’s Relief became my partner, I had professional people I could talk to about my work plus deadlines to meet. What seemed like a dream, someone else’s life, became my own. I thought my first publication was a lucky break. But my second publication meant something more. It meant I could get three. And little by little I started to believe I was a writer. What a gift.

“Whatever you dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”—Goethe
