This is a place for writing: interviews with writers, what I’ve been reading, working on, discovering about writing craft, publishing, and books, books, books. I’m also quite obsessed with movies and like to go on and on about that.

I started this (mostly monthly) newsletter to give my friends and family a break from having to hear about movies, music, art, the bizarre things I find on the Internet, and all my other weird obsessions in the middle of the night. Now, I can share them with you.

Since I spend most of my time with books—writing them, teaching them, and editing them—I will be sharing with you all I have learned about them along the way. Whether you are looking to start a writing career, read or write more, find publishing advice, consider how a particular screenplay was crafted, or just hear about the countless oddball things I encounter on any given day here in Brooklyn, you have come to the right place. Let the fun begin…

You can find out more about my work on my website here or come say hi on Instagram, Threads, or Bluesky.
