Ariana Glaser
First and foremost, I'm a writer. I tell the stories that need to be told, whether through investigative reporting, fiction writing or songwriting. I have words in Newsday, BroadwayWorld, Trill Mag and various UM publications. I've written five novels, two of which are available wherever books are sold. My original music is available on all streaming platforms.
A NOVELIST
I published my first novella when I was twelve years old, then my first full-length novel, "She Remembers," was published a year later. In 2025, all rights were reverted back to me. I've written three books since finishing "She Remembers" — and I'm currently searching for a publisher for my latest work.
A JOURNALIST
With words in Newsday, Trill Mag, BroadwayWorld, and several collegiate publications, I report across several disciplines. Career highlights include "White coats and red hands: How institutional and legal failures enable sex abuse in medicine," "Abortion through a philosophical lens: moral" and "That's that she espresso: How women are dominating the music industry."
A MUSICIAN
From the stage to the recording studio, I'm always singing somewhere. My voice transcends classical, contemporary and theatrical genres. I've performed on some of the world's greatest stages, including Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall, and I've played some incredible roles, including Paulette in "Legally Blonde" and Mary Phagan in "Parade." My background in writing makes my original music equally moving and melodic.
