Abbey Hudetz

Oh, hey! My name is Abbey. I’m not a fan of labels, but asked to summarize myself… I’m a former child and current creative based in Brooklyn and sometimes Cape Town, by way of the Midwest. I am a storyteller with a focus on travel, fashion, culture, and commerce. I am generationally wealthy in wanderlust. From my pilot father, I inherited a curiosity about the world (and a certain regional mobility). I am currently developing an editorial network and sharing more about what makes me curious as someone who collects hobbies and passport stamps.  I bring a trend and SEO-informed perspective to pitching, a hands-on approach to research, and include photography with submissions (often shot on my nostalgic digital camera). I take a multi-format approach to the stories I tell, offering short-form video content and social media graphics as accompaniments.

Outside of editorial work and creative writing, I have been consulting as a trend soothsayer and creative strategist, crafting brand strategies, content creation, and website design through Oyster Creative since 2020.  From time to time, I host creative workshops and events in NYC, Cape Town and beyond — think literary meetups, retreats, and writing cohorts.

Stories worth coveting.

I inform my pitches with trend data and ground my reporting in lived experience. Get in touch if you would like tailored story angles to resonate with your readership or support with an editorial calendar.
