1. You Arrived at The Write Spxt

Writers will find tools here. Readers will find inspiration. And everyone is invited to stay awhile.

The Write Spxt is a weekly newsletter from a book marketer with a decade of experience at two Big Five publishers. It’s for writers seeking publishing tools, readers looking for great recs, and humans who love to journal, observe, and reflect.

If you’re reading this, you’re part of a journey that began with Books for the Soul—a community built on passion for stories and self-discovery. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to The Write Spxt, where we believe stories are more than entertainment—they’re how we make sense of the world and connect to each other. At The Write Spxt, I welcome writers, readers, and anyone who’s drawn to the power of language. Whether you’re shaping a novel, journaling in private, or savoring a sentence that lingers—we hold space for your curiosity. Through interviews, workshops, essays, and creative reflections, I intend to explore what it means to live thoughtfully and tell the truth through words. Writers will find tools here. Readers will find inspiration. And everyone is invited to stay awhile.

The older I get and the more people I connect with, the more I learn that everyone experiences serendipitous moments that drive them toward being at the right place, at the right time, landing them in the right spot. Usually, when we are actively seeking an answer, a clue or an omen, what we need and when we need it is delivered to us. We may not always agree with the timing, that part is none of our business. Not only does this inform that we have all the answers within, but it’s confirmation that we are not alone in our journey. These are not isolated events.

I have challenged myself to seek out more people who are open to being featured in The Write Spxt to share their growth (or struggles) as they journey through this life and land in the right spot. Some of the guests featured will be exactly where they want to be. Others may feel a sense of loss. Regardless of where they are on their journey, they will have arrived at the write spxt to reflect, connect and generate potential next steps.
