“Noelle writes nonfiction essays the way narrative fiction writers wish they could write novels. Her descriptive storytelling and unique perspective craft a lovely newsletter that’s more than worth a subscription. Take a look — I think you’ll find yourself wanting more. ”

Jason M. Thornberry is seeking homes for a memoir and his first novel. Jason lives in Seattle with his wife and dog, and he teaches writing at Seattle Pacific University.
“Jason is an inspiring, published essayist who has overcome inconceivable struggle to share his thoughts with the world. Thank goodness, because those thoughts happen to be very worth hearing. He writes with clarity, passion, and tremendous care; a truly beautiful blend of qualities that keeps me coming back.”

Book reviews and cultural commentary with a focus on LGBTQ literature
“Despite her young age (and to some extent, maybe because of it), Ofelia writes with a clarity of thought that inspires one to more closely examine the context of their own existence. She lends her sharp wit and even sharper pen to excellent nonfiction essays that focus on cultural analysis, generational insight, and feminist ethics. A joy to read.”
