An editor in book publishing supporting writers like you in craft + soul care within the creative life.

If you have a story to tell, an idea to ink, words burning inside of you, SLANT LETTER is for you.

Writing is incredibly enriching, yet angsty work. There’s a lot of white noise out there, and for writers who have something to say, this raises an angsty question: how can I make my words stand out? 

As an editor in the book publishing industry, my work wrangles with this question every day. And it is my firm belief: if you want your words to stand out and spark life, you gotta make like Emily Dickinson and tell it slant. If content is king, the angle is queen—and she is one classy supernova. 

SLANT LETTER is my monthly newsletter for writers like you looking to find your angle, write like you mean it, and do it in style—all from an editor on the inside of the publishing process. Every letter is designed to help you both deepen your craft, and tend to the soul care that is essential for the creative life (because it’s angsty here!)

We took Quinn to a sibling class last night and picked up a couple good tips, but the best one to me was the validation for big sisters/brothers that they might feel excited and happy about their new baby, and they might also feel “stormy&rdquo
“It was a morning like any other, except for the chainsaws. They started early—before my two-year-old was even up—and continued on well past her afternoon nap.” I wrote an essay for @mothering.spirit about how we carry our s
A word for writers who are feeling the resistance right now… Rooting for you and remember the kind of person that you are (read to the end). Yea? Yea. #writersofinstagram #writinginspiration #creativeflow #creativeprocess #writingprocess
Taking it with me: April edition… The joy of next generation cousin Easter egg hunts. Reckoning with capacity and finding peace in saying here, but no more. Bringing back reading before bed. The sadness that is packing up too-tiny clothes
Good morning from third-trimester land. We are here, we are hungry, we are both achy and over it and overjoyed. Blessing today the spaces that stretch us, receiving this as the gift of growth.
