Abby Gardner, Executive Editor of Indy Maven

Abby is Indy Maven’s executive editor, as well as a freelance writer. After spending much of her career in New York City writing and editing for women’s magazines like Glamour, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Jane, she moved back to her hometown of Indianapolis in 2017.

You can also find her spending way too much musing about all things pop culture in her weekly newsletter, We Have Notes—which she is now spinning off into a soon-to-launch podcast. Both the newsletter and the podcast are products of Abby’s obsessive consumption and curation of pop culture through her very own unique lens of a Gen Xer with a lot of Millennial and Gen Z sensibilities.
