Every great artist needs a companion, and what better one than a notebook?
Hey there! My name is Seren (any/siya). I’m an artist and storyteller, but you probably know me best as a writer. For the most part, this newsletter is a place where I can record any and all things about writing that I don’t want to forget.
You just happen to be able to take a peek into it as well.
Current Topics —
Personal Updates (S-#0000) — updates about any of my works, what I’ve been reading, what stories have grabbed me lately, and musings on what it means to be a queer artist of color right now.
Writing Tips (W-#0000) — tips on craft, outlining, drafting, revising, etc. Many are used by me, but others offer an alternative when my methods may not work for you.
Publishing Transparency (Q-#0000) — barring breaching contracts and etiquette, these are posts that break down and analyze the more industry part of the process, including querying, being on submission, and what else happens beyond the veil.
Recommendations (R-#0000) — mentorships, fellowships, contests, and writing opportunities; some I’ve done personally, some not, all hopefully able to uplift more and more queer bipoc.
Interviews & Talks (I-#0000) — chats with other writers from every stage of the process; published, on submission, querying, and those still working on finishing their first manuscript.
Stories You Should Experience Before You Die (D-#0000) — a series that highlights and breaks down literature, films, music, video games & more that I (and others) believe everyone should experience before they leave this Earth.
