Hi from Amsterdam 🫶 My name is Mariam and I’m a corporate marketeer in literary recovery. That is to say I’m mending my sellout soul by going back to creative writing. Born in Armenia, bred in Russia, exiled in Europe. I’m feeling a bit shaky about sharing my work, but hopefully I will pull it together and publish my first personally essay this month 😦

Hi everyone! I’m Kelly. I’m from Northern California and I’m a new mom to a sweet lil baby <3 have always been drawn to creating, always feeling the pull back when I drift away. I love writing especially, and have recently been doing a bit of scrapbooking/junk journaling which has been so fun. Looking to be intentional about finding time for fun creative projects while finding my footing balancing work, being a mom, and everything else! Other things I’m into include reading, hanging out at coffee shops, going for walks, and watching everything from my so called life to real housewives 🩷
helluuu! i’m tejasvni (she/her) and i’m a baby adult (22yo) just out of uni trying to figure life out. recently abandoned corporate to transition into more creative work and inspiration finds me everywhere but i’m looking for more role models and people to connect w. can’t wait to share my love for coffee, witchy stuff and diy w y’all <3
hello! my name is laura and i'm from madrid, spain (actually i'm living abroad in the netherlands but that's about to be over). i love creating, doesn't matter if it's writing, drawing, crafting, i just need to make something out of what's going on in my head. currently i'm very into finding myself in the art i consume, so i'm trying to be more mindful with what i read, see or listen to, and if it resonates with me i note it down in my journal. wish you the best! 🫶

Hi everyone!! So happy to be here. My name is Calihan I’m 22 and I love writing and photography 🫶🏻🫶🏻 I am from St. Louis but I’m looking to move for my first post grad job after studying economics

Hi, I'm Kristen/KTD (she/her), 33, and living in NY's Hudson Valley. I've been a public librarian for 12 years, but just recently started working in the community where I live, which feels so special to be able to offer programming and resources to my neighbors. I love live music, a good lil drinky drink (this can range from a fun iced latte to a gin based cocktail or sweet tea), crocheting, testing out new recipes with my bf, and any cozy hobbies. I have two teen cats - Benjamin/Benny and Barty/Bartholomew - and a lab/pitbull mix named Todd. Thank you for creating this community, Julianna!
Hi everyone! My name is Taylor, and I'm a Brooklyn based writer. I have a background in social media and copywriting. I moved to NY to finish my grad school program and decided to stay. Currently, I'm doing some soul-searching while I figure out what my next move is. I usually write essays about my family, relationships, and mental health. I love writing, journaling, film, and photography. While I'm nervous about sharing my work, I'm excited to connect with you guys! 😊💕
Hi!! My name is Natalie - i'm 25 and i am trying to figure out life! I am a Citybelle - born in Mississippi, currently living in Jersey City + NYC. I kinda love everything. I dance. I ski. I run wild in NYC and I absolutely adore public transit and traveling the world. I am a fashionista and an OG crafty girl. I hope to return to my roots of creativity in an effort to love myself fully, heal, and grow into the woman I am destined to be.
I think the only things I hate are mean people, injustices (of ANY kind), and capitalism.
