It's Puzzle Day! Here are some I've built over the years. The one with the cat I built with my spouse, and that was such a nice experience. El Bacio is hanging in my sister's house, and Gone with the Wind is at my grandmother's.💚🧩

You don't have to write or edit alone! My name is Anna, and I'm an editor and Author Accelerator certified book coach. I specialize in sci-fi/fantasy, and I love books with themes of hope in dark places, determination in the face of impossible odds, worthiness of love, and planetary conservation!❤️🧙‍♂️⚔️

My 2025 reading wrap-up! There's so many books, I'm glad for a list to remind me what I even read. I found a few new favorites, like Uprooted and The Nature of Witches! 💙📚

I specialize in developmental editing for fantasy and science fiction. If your book is an epic fantasy, dystopia, portal fantasy, apocalyptic nightmare, romantasy, solarpunk, or D&D-esque adventure, I want to see it!❤️🧙‍♂️⚔️🪐📚📝

As a trauma-informed book coach, I specialize in helping fantasy and sci-fi writers who experienced a false start, lost their voice, or don’t know where to begin. Together, we push back on fear, imposter syndrome, and the voices that tell you you’re not good enough or have nothing new to say.📝🪐📚❤️🧙‍♂️⚔️

Happy It's-Officially-Christmas-Season! Here are November's reads!💙📚

I didn't read as much last month since I was busier, but I still got a couple books in. And yes, I did read Frankenstein because of the most recent movie out, and both were very fun.🧟‍♂️🔍👀

Bravery doesn't have to be huge or flashy. It can look like stepping a half-inch outside your comfort zone or prioritizing yourself too.💚

October's reading wrap-up! (Look at me remembering to post on time.)

I really loved Where the Dark Stands Still. It easily climbed into the ranks of my favorite books ever.💙📚

Poppy is Alice (in Wonderland) for Halloween! Chile isn't super big on the holiday yet, so I settled with dressing her up.🫖🎩💙

If sitting down to write feels scary (terrifying, even), before you begin, breathe deeply for several minutes. In for 3 seconds and out for 6 (or in 4 and out 8) and remind yourself that you're safe. Settle into the idea that it's time to write and try again. What you have to say matters.
