Hallie Farrell

I’m a passionate storyteller currently pursuing my Master of Fine Arts at Emerson College, specializing in Publishing and Popular Fiction Writing. My lifelong love of books led me to earn my undergraduate degree in English, where I immersed myself in creative writing courses and the wider reading community. Now, as I work toward completing my master’s thesis, a novel I plan to send out for publication, I’m eager to continue growing within the world of publishing in any way I can.

Outside of writing, I’ve held a variety of roles in the food industry that strengthened my communication and customer service skills—qualities I’m excited to bring to positions in bookstores or other literary spaces. Whether discussing a beloved novel or a polarizing one, I have a deep enthusiasm for storytelling and connecting with others who share that same passion.

I’ve worked in a variety of customer-facing roles, primarily in the food industry, where I developed strong communication, organization, and multitasking skills. These experiences taught me how to connect with people from all backgrounds, all of which are skills I’m eager to bring into the publishing and bookselling world.

I’m currently pursuing my Master of Fine Arts at Emerson College in Publishing and Popular Fiction Writing, where I’m completing a publishable novel as my thesis. I earned my undergraduate degree in English, focusing heavily on creative writing. My academic work has centered around storytelling, literature, and the craft of writing: interests that continue to guide my career goals in publishing.
