Hi. I’m Deena. I’m a writer living in Los Angeles. I’m also the founder and editor of Nouvella, an award-winning independent press dedicated to novella-length works of fiction (though that project is currently on hiatus). You can find my writing in Catapult, The Millions, and Flatmancrooked, and forthcoming in Joyland. I’m currently at work on a novel. Say “hi” here.

I’m also a creative copywriter and strategist who has worked with brands like Nike, Dunkin’, Metallica, Salesforce, Great Place to Work, Saucey, Pleasing, and Foot Locker. Some of that work has won Clios and a Cannes Lion awards. If you’d like to see some of it, click here.
