Where writers come for publishing, craft, and creative life advice from a NYT bestselling author — because a curious writer is a thriving one

Real talk about the writing + publishing industry from an author who doesn’t want you to feel confused, bewildered, or alone. Plus: craft tips, reading recommendations, writing support + solidarity (unless you are a jerk to people in the comments).

A compost heap to share my inspirations, influences, and interests. Essentially, a newsletter to help wade through the overwhelming amount of existing content.

Fiction writing exercises, craft essays, and reading recommendations from Matt Bell, author of APPLESEED and REFUSE TO BE DONE. Publishes monthly.
