Authors

The writers behind this newsletter.

  • Harriet Corvine

    "Here, take this / My seat, my pen, my heart" harrietcorvine.com

  • primalbeet

    Writer, musician, and feral philosopher. I craft poetry, short fiction, rogue songs, and offbeat truths from the crossroads of weird and wonder. Refined for public use, but still a little wild under the hood.

  • Joe Nichols

    Philosopher-comic hybrid. I dive into truth, mortality, and meaning—then crack a joke about socks and the void. Half deep thinker, half chaos goblin. Serious when it counts, absurd when it helps. Duality is the brand.

  • Michelle Ried

    Reader, Thinker, Writer, Poet // Operations Manager, Bridwell Library & Press, SMU // Graduate Student, MLS Organizational Dynamics, SMU // US Navy Vet // Mom of 3

  • MJ Polk

    Newspaper to Substack Editor & Consultant--offering clients Proofreading, Copy-editing, and Developmental-editing services. But I'm not your average copywriter. I have a passion for writing both Fiction and Creative Non-fiction. aka- Hank Cotton

    "I am a nerd! I spend my time reading, riding my bike, and participating in all manner of nerdom \ud83e\udd13 Author of the Dark World series, A Haunted New Mexico, Something Special, and other fictional universes."

  • Emma Steel

    Poetry and short story fiction tending toward the gothic. Just a sapphic woman \ud83c\udff3️‍\ud83c\udf08 trying to write the world and figure out her place in it. All work posted © Emma Steel
