The writers behind this newsletter.
Marine. Dad. BJJ white belt getting submitted regularly. Founded Rejects. A lit mag that doesn't charge. Dropped the MFA. Pitching a novel. Writing is proof.

I am a land cloud. This SubStack is all dog, all the time. You get a photo a day of Socks the Swiss Shepherd and his adventures in France.
Canadian Indie Author; Developmental Editor; Book Reviewer; Dungeon Master; 100% Human Works
