About the author

A.J. Campbell is a Washington, D.C.–based writer and playwright whose work explores power, pleasure, and the politics of being seen. Her writing lives at the intersection of feminism, sensuality, and social critique, tracing how women navigate systems of ambition, authority, and desire. With an eye for irony and emotional precision, Campbell writes about what it means to seek truth and autonomy inside institutions built to contain both.

Her new book of short stories, 'Capital Ties', brings together twenty-six interwoven stories set in the heart of Washington. Told through the voice of Belle, a dominant, intelligent, and unapologetically sensual narrator, the book examines how women claim power within the charged spaces of politics, romance, and self-definition. Blending satire and seduction, Capital Ties transforms the corridors of D.C. into a theater of feminist resistance and erotic complexity.

As a playwright, Campbell has written more than ten plays in Washington and beyond, including. Her stage work is known for its humor, lyricism, and incisive social commentary, often balancing wit with emotional depth. Whether set in a boardroom, a gallery, or a backroom bar, her plays probe the contradictions of modern womanhood—the desire to belong and the equal need to break free.

Campbell also served as the developmental editor for Lillian and the Ghost Governess, a forthcoming middle-grade novel set in Washington. The book follows a curious ten-year-old girl who uncovers a ghost in her attic and the mystery of her journalist parents’ disappearance, weaving courage, history, and self-discovery into a story about truth-telling and resilience.

In addition to her fiction and plays, Campbell has written countless essays and articles on culture, civic life, and justice. Her nonfiction reflects the same feminist sensibility that shapes her creative work, examining the spaces where public systems meet private conscience.

A.J. Campbell continues to write fiction, drama, and essays that challenge inherited narratives about gender, power, and freedom. Her work insists that storytelling itself is an act of resistance—a way for women to name their desires, rewrite their histories, and reclaim the language of control
