Annabelle Long

Director

At West Wing Writers, Annabelle has written for people who have won Tony Awards and tight elections; built skyscrapers and social movements; climbed the highest corporate ladders and all seven summits.

She’s written op-eds, essays, TED talks, and comprehensive organizational narratives that help leaders tell tough truths, unearth forgotten histories, and advocate for change across philanthropy, entertainment, business, tech, and politics.

Speeches she’s written have been delivered at inaugurations, global summits, commencements, and on every continent except Antarctica (she’s working on it). Her words have been published in The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, The Guardian, and The Washington Post, among others, and work under her own byline has appeared in The Drift, California Magazine, and the 2024 essay collection Writing the Golden State: The New Literary Terrain of California. She also manages WWW’s social media presence.

She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley, where she was a caseworker for students accused of misconduct, and her senior thesis—the first-ever biography of Marguerite Dice, hostess of the first meeting of the John Birch Society—earned her Highest Honors in History. Originally from Sacramento, she now reads, writes, and runs long distances in Brooklyn.
