Notes from a Work-in-Progress Writer

is my bi-weekly newsletter for writers, artists, and other creatives coming up in the world who are navigating the real, raw, and rewarding parts of the creative process.

This isn’t a newsletter from someone who has books on the New York Times best sellers list, teaches at illustrious universities, and is your favorite author’s favorite author—not yet at least! I’m an emerging writer, plotting my rising action and sharing what I’m learning and thinking along the way: wins, struggles, breakthroughs—all honest and unfiltered.

So, whether you’re feeling in a flow state, stuck, or somewhere in between, I hope this space meets you where you are. Because I’m in these trenches with you.

What You’ll Get in This Newsletter:

💭 Thoughts and reflections on writing, fiction, publishing, and creativity

👍 Encouragement and inspiration

✨ Writing tips, prompts, and helpful resources that have helped me

If you’re a writer, artist, or another creative craving real talk about the process—not just the polished results—you’re in the right place. Real recognizes real.
