Welcome to my world—where the ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary, and stories become a conduit for self-discovery, inspiration, and empowerment. I’m Ariadne Hamilton: a novelist, English professor, and creative entrepreneur with a passion for weaving magic, mystery, and real-life mess into captivating narratives that stay with you long after the final page.
Raised in a vibrant, eclectic environment, I developed an obsession with stories at a young age. I believe stories are how we connect, how we heal, and how we discover who we truly are. Whether I’m writing novels that bring magic into the everyday, helping women rediscover their inner strength through storytelling, or guiding aspiring authors to unlock their creative potential, I live and breathe the power of words.
Where Magic Meets Storytelling
My path to becoming a novelist wasn’t linear—it was filled with twists and turns, much like the stories I love to write. With advanced degrees in literature and writing, I’ve spent years in academia, exploring how stories shape us and teaching others how to harness the power of narrative. Along the way, I’ve published several novels that blend magical realism with humor and emotional depth, creating immersive worlds that resonate deeply with readers.
As an English professor, I’ve dedicated my career to nurturing the creativity of my students, guiding them to find their voices and navigate the complexities of the writing process. My love for teaching and my own experience as an author have shaped my unique approach to writing coaching, which blends practical advice with deep empathy and understanding.
My Journey
As an author, my novels explore the intersection of the magical and the everyday, blending humor, depth, and a touch of the surreal. Through relatable characters and rich plots, I aim to provide readers with not just an escape, but a new lens through which to view their own lives.
As a writing coach, I offer personalized support to writers at every stage of their journey. My coaching programs help you overcome writer’s block, find clarity in your story, and navigate the self-publishing process with confidence. I also create digital tools—planners, workbooks, and templates—to streamline your creative process and help you stay focused and organized.
What I Do
When I’m not writing or guiding other writers, you can find me trying to keep up with my giant St. Bernard (who’s on a mission to drool on every wall), doing Pilates, or indulging my love for British TV and Bravo shows. My family, cats, and endless supply of office supplies add to the chaos that I’ve come to love as part of my creative life. And of course, Taylor Swift is always playing in the background.
