If a book club married a writers group, Spark would be their child. Here is where writers and readers come together to find and share “daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark” discovered as we read, write, and reach for connection. I’ll share the moments, ideas, stories, and artists that ignite something in me. I hope you’ll share yours.
The mission
- To support and celebrate the storytellers who live among us, especially now in these challenging times, and to make it easier for readers to find and share the stories they need to hear — no matter what form they come in
- To lift the veil on the creative process between readers and writers through interviews and discussions so we all learn more about the spark that leads to a finished piece of work
- Have a little fun along the way
In addition to my usual check-ins, progress reports, random thoughts, and photos of my dog, here’s what subscribers can expect:
