The writers behind this newsletter.
Frankie Rollins, writer and teacher, founded the Fifth Brain Collective to converse with seekers about writing and creativity with a radiant warmth and the belief that a writer has what they need to write, always and already, in their fifth brain.
Shelby Marie Skumanich (she/they) is a femme, a poet, and an artist walking a meandering path shaped by intuition and desire.
Anxious, likeable weirdo. Writes. Bakes. Loves dogs.
Writer. Facilitator. Storyteller. I use writing as a form of healing, resistance, and remembering. This space is for anyone who has ever felt silenced, broken, or too much. Here, we write anyway.
a writer and recovering academic
I'm an award-winning writer-performer who uses experimental creative nonfiction as a liberatory practice for a late-realized AuDHD (Autistic + ADHD) brain navigating a world built for neurotypicals. Raw, humorous, and inexplicably hopeful.
Writer, writing coach, creative dynamo, and literary architect. Relentlessly protective of creative humans and their right to create.
Not really on here
I am a painter, poet, writer and wearable art designer from NJ. The arts are the ways of expressing myself and and tuning into people’s life stories.
A writer and creative living in Tucson, AZ. Their work mostly focuses on queer theory and folklore. You can find their poetry and short fiction in SandScript, Bow and Chariot, and Persona. They hope to someday write the great queer utopia novel.
Writer. Latino. Tucson.
