What to Expect Each Week
Since 2016, I’ve been sending weekly love letters to writers working in memoir, creative nonfiction, prose poetry, and flash. (I take occasional seasonal and mental wellness breaks, and always let you know in advance.)
Most Wednesdays, you’ll receive:
- Craft insights: practical wisdom for stronger writing
- Writing prompts: gentle invitations to return to the page
- Revision practices: tools to see your work with fresh eyes
- Publication guidance: how to navigate the literary landscape with confidence
These letters are about persistence, not perfection. About showing up and trusting that your words matter.
Whether you’re working on your first essay or your tenth manuscript, these letters remind you: you belong in this work.
Your words are welcome here. And so are you.
