Life on the Midlist

True tales from a working writer in a business that rarely tells the whole truth.

Each Tuesday, you’ll get a brief, honest note about what it takes to keep making things while navigating traditional publishing. Not advice, not pep talks, just a “we’re in this together” check in: no platitudes, no “secret formulas,” only lived experience.

Here is what you can expect:

• Stories about querying, going on submission, and what happens after the deal

• The things nobody tells you about money, time, burnout, and what it really means to “make it” as a midlist author

• Small truths, big feelings, and the kinds of details about creative work you usually only hear behind closed doors
