A Voice Note From Your Writer Friend

Lifting the veil on a writing life #18

Hey there!

Here I am sending something out on a Sunday rather than my usual Friday. It’s been quite a week, including tears over home things.

If you’d rather read than listen;

• I finally sent off my novel to my editor, so I can stop working on it for a while. Helpfully, my brain has thought of things that I should’ve fixed before sending it, thanks brain!

• A cover artist is my next job for this book, if you know anyone who might fit the bill let me know. The genre is eco-horror, because that is my jam.

• I’m finishing my story for the Poe anthology this week. It was fully funded on Kickstarter recently, so big thanks if you’ve helped with that.

• Essay Camp has filled my mornings since sending my book off and has been a refuge in between chasing suppliers and builders.

  offers this mini-course on her Substack and I’ve enjoyed writing nonfiction as a break from my novel. I’ll be working on these essays and I’m sure some will be posted here on Substack in the future.
