I have a question for you!
If we haven’t met yet, this is me—Kelly Eden—and I write from my home next to a beautiful rainforest in New Zealand.
I send out letters with writing-related tips, resources, and opportunities.
Here’s your first one—Free 3-Step Editing Checklist——> find it here.
I have other resources on Gumroad too, so snap up what you need.
Creative Nonfiction Archives
I’ve been writing here since 2019 (and writing professionally since 2008!)
There are a ton of free posts on BYW to browse through.
If you’re at the stage of your writing journey where you’d like to learn more, take a look through the 42 Lessons in Creative Nonfiction.
I cover the basics—What is Creative Nonfiction
To more advanced topics—Collage and Braided Essays
Each lesson has a practical exercise and beautiful handpicked CNF readings.
Paid subscribers get full access to the Creative Nonfiction Academy.
Yes, I want access to the CNF lessons.
Now I have a favor to ask
I love hearing from writers.
Would you hit reply, introduce yourself and answer two questions for me?
What are your writing goals this year?
What are your writing struggles or areas you want to learn more in?
It really helps me know how to help you more. (And it’s just nice to meet new people who love writing as much as I do.)
I can’t always reply to every email, but I do read every single one.
I appreciate you being here!
Talk soon,
Kelly
