Newsletter

My weekly newsletter’s title, “Write at the Edge” is a nod to the following advice:

​

—"Write at the edges of the day.” ~Toni Morrison. As a single mother of two boys, Morrison knew what it was like to have to squeeze in writing time whenever she could.

​

— “Where is an edge — a dangerous edge — and where is the trail to the edge and the strength to climb it?” ~Annie Dillard. In her book The Writing Life, Dillard encourages writers to consider this question.

​

With this newsletter, I help writers find time to write in the edges of the day (wherever they may be). And I help them brush up against, and then push past, the edge of what they think is possible. On Thursdays, I send out related tips and best practices. Though I mostly draw upon my experience in nonfiction, my tips are relatable to writers across genres.
