a bit about me.

I tell long-form stories, with little doses of inspiration and fun mixed in.

Whether it be a multi-episode podcast series or lengthy investigative articles, I'm most interested in creating journalism that dives into the nuances of life around us. I explore context and connections in my work in the hopes of illuminating stories we may think we already know in new and surprising ways. I'm a multi-medium master, jumping between audio and print seamlessly.

I always strive to center human, personal experiences in my storytelling. I am steadfast in my commitment to creativity over clickbait. It increasingly feels like journalism is moving away from this ethos, so if you think similarly, let's talk...and hopefully, make something new together.

By the way, I recently changed my professional name from Avery J.C. Kleinman to Avery Jessa Chapnick. If you're curious why, shoot me a message!
