I’ve always had writers baked into my larger ecosystem as an editor, so I understand the layers of being “writer adjacent” versus having an intimate network of writers.

I didn’t set out for it to happen this way, but my community of writers really grew out of an interview series I started last year called Cave of the Heart. Through the process of interviewing writers and creatives—and then editing and collaborating on their answers—I’ve found a handful of kindred spirits that feed my writing life in a much different way.

In a bigger way, my newsletter as a whole is also a gathering space for me to weave in and out of topics in a way that feels socially sustainable. From there I leap frog through a bunch of different newsletters that overlap with my interests in life (and therefore writing). A lot of my favorite folks I now follow because I found them in the comments section.
