Your Invitation to Book Alchemy

Our cozy reading room to hide away in together

Welcome.

For the past year and change, I’ve been writing two substacks: Oh! Murder, about my love of that genre and my process of writing it, and From Dream to Draft, an experiment in writing a book in real time on substack.

After a year maintaining two publications, I’ve burned myself out.

In doing so, I remembered what I really wanted to create in the first place: a space that feels like a bookish hideaway. A private reading room where people can gather and read without being bothered. But also a place where people can drink tea and coffee (and occasionally something stronger by the fire) and share their dreams.

What if we could build the best hidden library ever?

If you’ve wanted to share thoughts on books you’ve loved and wished would never end, if you’ve wanted to start writing a story that won’t leave you alone, come in.

If your dreams include being able to talk about books with people who understand, people who want to write them, too, this is your spot. Pull up a chair and an ottoman by the fire. If you need a blanket, or want a cat in your lap, we’ve got that here, too.

This is where the story begins. Are you ready?
