Hey Reader, In the (free) Just Keep Writing community, this week I asked: What’s something you’re trying to figure out about writing, editing, or publishing right now?

I'm responding to everyone with suggestions, ideas and sometimes empathy or encouragement, as needed! See you in the...

Hey Reader, Longtime readers might remember when I used to do the 3@3. New readers, welcome to the explanation: a few years back, I used to go live once a week at 3pm and answer 3 questions that had been pre-submitted. It was all live, no editing, just raw talk. Turns out, I've got a pile of those clips sitting around, and honestly, most of the advice hasn't aged a day. Would I add some information or say it a bit different? Maybe. But these are still so solid, I decided to resurrect them and...

Hey Reader, I think I've talked a lot here about how much music is a big part of my life and part of my routine is to listen to new song releases every Friday. I look forward to listening while I work, discovering new gems, and letting music be the background to my daily life. Sometimes a song will really hit me for a variety of reasons: the bass line, the rhythm, the lyrics, or just a general vibe of "yes, please, more of this!" This morning it was a new song by Teddy Swims called "Perfect...

I decided I wanted to feature a voice note that I'd received from one of my author's this past week, Anna Richland. But I never share things with that without asking for permission so I emailed Anna to ask if I could use this quote from the voice note she sent me: Hey Angela, I just wanted to say that the reviews coming in for Checking Out the Librarian on...
