Newsletter
Mallary's 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, Mallary helps writers find time to write in the edges of the day (wherever they may be). And she helps them brush up against, and then push past, the edge of what they think is possible. On Thursdays, she sends related tips and best practices, along with occasional book-related updates. Though she mostly draws upon her experience in nonfiction, her tips are relatable to writers across genres. You can subscribe here.
