About Adrienne

Adrienne Thorne grew up on a dairy farm, where she spent her free time shirking farm chores in order to write stories. Since then, her writing accomplishments include 2 quarterfinalist placements in the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, a produced feature screenplay, a published YA novel, and a recent spec feature sale. She also holds the distinction of having placed above Shia LaBeouf in a screenwriting competition. Most of Adrienne's stories feature the good, the bad, and the hilarious of small-town farming and family life.
