Ariella Steinhorn

Ariella Steinhorn is a writer, former entrepreneur, and an influencer with a growing social media presence. She has a combined social media following of 35K across various social media platforms where she provides video and written commentary--sometimes humorous and sometimes serious--about the sociopolitical culture, the absurdity of the powerful, and relationship dynamics he has encountered as a woman living in NYC.
Ariella's most recent video about the Palantir CEO squirming on stage at a conference saw 2 million views on Instagram, with subsequent videos seeing between 5,000 and 75,000 views. On TikTok, her video about being asked to join the Treasury Secretary and his posse to a social club saw 75,000 views and was cross-posted on X to hundreds of thousands of views, while her video about Deepak Chopra being in the Epstein Files saw over 500,000 views. She has recently signed with the Luber Roklin Talent Management Agency.

To date, Ariella's personal writing has appeared in The New York Times, Fortune, Slate, Newsweek, and The Boston Globe, and she’s the founder of Superposition and Lioness—two storytelling ventures that became synonymous with exposing workplace abuse, particularly in spaces traditional media overlooked. Lioness essays—many ghostwritten by Ariella—have gone viral and been cited in major investigations. Ariella has secured early interest from high-profile endorsers including Grimes, Justine Musk, and Amber Heard, as well as journalist Lila Shapiro (NYMag) and Emma Hinchliffe (Fortune). She has spoken at Harvard Business School on whistleblowing and at top journalism programs on the future of narrative power.

POWER TRIP

Exposed to the male gaze and proximity to powerful men from a very young age, Ariella has long since struggled to determine what relationship she should have with her own appearance and body and what her identity should be as a result. From the first time she was tackled at a bus stop at 14-years-old by a group of boys who suddenly found her “hot” to the moment she realized that the easiest way to get funding for a company she had built was to date an A-list actor, Ariella has spent most of her life entrenched in power dynamics and complexes, trying to figure out what, if any, relationship she should have with her own femininity. Looking back on her experiences now, Ariella dissects her with sex, dating, love, and heartbreak with powerful men-from a sport’s team owner to tech CEOs to a musician and an A-list actor, as mentioned before-as avenues into a broader exploration of the kaleidoscope that is female identity.

Weaving a nonlinear narrative of love, Nonlinear dives into a different stereotype about women that the world has tried to lock Ariella into in every chapter: the precocious daughter, the teenage sl*t, the mistress, the siren, the trophy wife... In doing so, it explores both how Ariella has tried to make herself fit into these roles and break free of them to embrace an identity that is more complex and multifaceted than the world acknowledges women to be. As the narrative’s focus is “the woman” as a person, the names of men in question were kept hidden throughout the manuscript.
