Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Hollywood-adjacent but pretty unbothered by it. Rejected from every poetry magazine since 1996.
Writer, editor, director, curator. Big fan of cookware. Student of interior design. Books and the people who write them, the people who make them, the people who read them. British crime dramas are my weakness.
Debutiful.net | Debutiful was founded by Adam Vitcavage, who was once called “the champion of debut authors.” Substack sometimes gets personal.
