Josie Adams is a writer and producer based in New Jersey.

In 2025, she founded House of Water, an independent, women-led production company focused on writing & development for film, TV, books, audio, and theater.

She likes to keep her plate full and is always developing several projects at once—one of which is a culinary narrative about food and family that she has the great honor of co-writing with her dad, actor Tony Shalhoub (Monk, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), forthcoming from Simon & Schuster in 2026.

Her writing has appeared in Audible, McSweeney’s, Bon Appétit, and elsewhere. Following the success of her sleep story “The Tea Shoppe” on Audible, she was commissioned to write 12 new sleep stories for celebrity narrators, to be released monthly throughout 2026.

She was adopted at birth from Omaha, Nebraska, and raised in Los Angeles.
