Rachel Hochhauser: Author and Cofounder of Piecework

Rachel Hochhauser is the author of the buzzy new novel Lady Tremaine, but before achieving her dream of becoming a professional writer, she held many different titles. After studying creative writing and history in college, Hochhauser began working at an ad agency as a strategic advisor. She went on to cofound her own agency called Major Studio in 2016, and while serving as partner and brand director there, she also cofounded Piecework, a brand of artful puzzles and gifts. That said, throughout all her success, she still had the itch to write, and in 2023, she began writing her debut novel. Lady Tremaine, a feminist retelling of Cinderella, was released earlier this year and was named an instant New York Times best seller and a Reese’s Book Club pick. She is currently working on her second novel.
