Abi Berwager Schreier

Abi is an Atlanta-based lifestyle writer for Romper, reporting on books, fertility, pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, parenting, pop-culture, and anything else new parents are googling these days. Abi’s byline has appeared in Parade magazine, alternative weekly Creative Loafing, where she wrote articles about music and books; Atomic Family Magazine, where she wrote about alternative parenting and families; and I Love McDonough, her hometown's local news website. Abi also worked three years as a copywriter and editor for an international law firm’s business development department. In addition to writing for Romper, Abi's also a freelance writer and editor, where she is a ghostwriter of blog posts and industry articles, press releases, biographies, mission statements, web content, and any other editorial-related branding. When Abi isn’t writing or copy editing, she loves being a mom to her 1-year-old son Jack, going to concerts (preferably metal shows), reading comics, hiking, listening to her vinyl records, and spending time at home with the rest of her family — a husband, two cats, and two beagles — which she lovingly refers to as "The Funny Farm." She is also obsessed with 'The Golden Girls' and rewatches old episodes daily. Dorothy Zbornak is Abi’s soul sister and Patronus.
