Why subscribe to Imagine a Door?

I’m an author and book publisher and I believe in transparency, kindness, and creativity. Imagine a Door, my book about publishing, is due out from Forest Avenue Press in April 2025.

I hope this newsletter will help us connect around the importance of building genuine community and balancing our creative inner lives with what the outside world asks. That inside-outside, push-pull experiment is what writers go through when they publish their books: an emergence. And we can weather it best collectively, listening to authors who have been there, or holding out our hands to authors on the journey toward their debuts.

I only write posts when I have something to say, because I don’t play social media games and I don’t want to fill up your inbox unnecessarily.

If you want to join me on this journey, subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. And please comment! I envision this space as an interactive, community experience, a home for writerly conversation.
