About


Writer. Editor. Historian.

Andrina Tran is a ghostwriter, editor, and historical consultant for the publishing industry’s most distinguished clients, from professors to actors to CEOs. Her portfolio spans a wide range of genres: American and European history, memoir, biography, fiction, business, and cultural criticism. Projects on which she’s been involved have landed on bestseller lists and been covered by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Variety Magazine, Vanity Fair, USA Today, CNN, NBC, NPR, and PBS — among others.

Prior to founding her consulting business, Tran gained over a decade of experience teaching at both the high school and college levels. She received Yale’s prestigious Prize Teaching Fellowship for “outstanding performance and promise as a teacher.” In addition to her popular seminar on capitalism and the conservative intellectual tradition, Tran has taught diverse courses on modern America including political, economic, cultural, and environmental history, as well as European intellectual history. This versatile background gives Tran the ability to “coach” writers to find their voices, hone their arguments, and deepen their storytelling.

Tran is a graduate of Yale (2018, PhD, History, distinction) and UC Berkeley (2011, BA, History, summa cum laude). After completing her doctorate, she earned a certificate in screenwriting from UCLA Extension. Alongside her consulting work, she is writing her first book and screenplay.
