A curated weekly newsletter of inspiration, strategies, and actionable ideas to help you master your craft, overcome your stumbling blocks, and grow as a writer.
Why Subscribe?
I comb through the internet noise to bring a collection of links and ideas for curious, creative minds right to your inbox.
This newsletter began as a way to share the show notes of my weekly podcast, My Imaginary Friends, where I give live reports from the trenches of an author navigating both the self-publishing and traditional publishing world.
I collect links during my online travels with advice, tips, tools, apps, interesting facts, deep thoughts, and more to feed my creative journey. And since I tend to collect more information than I could ever use, I wanted to share them with you.
When you sign up, you'll immediately receive my worldbuilding checklist of areas to explore when building a fictional world.
So even if you're not a podcast listener, if you're looking for some fuel for your creative fire, please sign up!
