About Abby Schwartz

Abby Alten Schwartz is a writer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She provides creative services and marketing consultation to hospital systems and healthcare organizations through her company, Brainstorm Communications. Abby began her career as an advertising art director, following in the footsteps of her father, who helped her develop her artistic eye as a kid. A lifelong reader who turned to books for comfort and connection, Abby also had a talent for writing, adding it to her creative services when launching her business 20 years ago. 

 During the pandemic, she joined a creative writing project called The Isolation Journals. It was life-changing. She rediscovered her personal voice, found a community of writers, and began writing and exploring creative nonfiction and journalism. Her work has since been published by Wired and The Manifest-Station, and she has a reported story forthcoming in The Washington Post. Abby is also writing her first book, a memoir about parenting, illness and hope. She is married to her former teenage camp sweetheart and they have a daughter who is getting ready to leave the nest.
