Review: The Making of a Witch by Judy Molland
Thank you to Mindbuck Media for sending me an advance copy of this book! The Making of a Witch by Judy Molland will be released on June 9, 2026. The Making of a Witch is the story of a young woman caught between her desires and the unforgiving social norms of seventeenth-century England. Alice Molland begins her life as the daughter of a working-class family struggling under the new laws ofâŠ
This Update is Overdue
But I am overstretched by work and school, so I hope youâll forgive me. Yep, school again. Iâve decided to brave the waters of academia once more. At the recommendation of a professional editor, Iâm taking some postgraduate classes in editing and publishing to polish my skills and make some connections in the business. Iâm confident that this, on top of the courses Iâve taken through the EFA,âŠ

Review: Everyone Knows your Mother is a Witch by Rivka Galchen
ââââ Rating: 4 out of 5. âKatharina is an illiterate widow, known by her neighbours for her herbal remedies and the success of her children, including her eldest, Johannes, who is the Imperial Mathematician and renowned author of the laws of planetary motion. Itâs enough to make anyone jealous, and Katharina has done herself no favours by being out and about and in everyoneâs business.âââŠ
A peek behind our curtain? This book explores scandals, marginalization, and activism connected to Canadian literary culture c. 2018. Should probably re-read...
Review: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
ââ Rating: 2 out of 5. Originally published in 2021. To be clear: I did not give Gideon the Ninth two stars because I thought it was awful from beginning to end. I actually thought it had a lot of potential, and my rating reflects my disappointment in how that potential was handled. Now that weâve got that out of the way (and hopefully prevented reactionary comments), letâs proceed to theâŠ

I've studied writing and fiction for the past 12 years, but until recently I couldn't tell you which editor does what. Find out what I've learned in my editing classes with the Editorial Freelancers' Association.
My Novel in Progress: A History (Part 2)
My Novel-in-Progress: A History (Part 1)
Originally published in 2021. Some authors get an idea for a book and finish writing it within a year or two. Others let their story ferment for a decade before they set it down on paper. I donât seem to be either of these types â Iâve been working at a novel on and off for over a decade. It needs at least one more rewrite before I can think about sending it to an agent or publisher.WhatâsâŠ
Review: The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf
Originally posted in 2021. Since then some of Woolfâs writing (a 1915 diary entry in particular) has been widely criticized as ableist. As impressive as Woolfâs prose may be, I do not agree with her opinions on illness and do not support the killing or incarceration of people judged to be âineffectiveâ or intellectually disabled. Anyone who has had to study classic literature knows whichâŠ
Review: The Centaur's Wife by Amanda Leduc
Originally published in April 2021. In Amanda Leducâs novel The Centaurâs Wife, flowers harbour spirits and mountain soil has the power to transform bodies. After a devastating natural disaster, the city at the foot of the mountain struggles with food shortages, harsh winter, and the inexplicable encroachment of wild vines onto urban territory. Nothing the survivors plant is able to grow,âŠ
Lessons from Copyediting Class
A winter wasted? In my last post, I mentioned the copyediting course that I was taking in order to boost my credentials. Since I donât have much experience as an editor, Iâd hoped that this would help demonstrate my skills and dedication to potential clients. However, after taking the introductory class, I bumped into two problems. The first issue was how much I struggled with the secondâŠ
Seasons of Change
Hereâs a fact: Around the age of ten, I decided that teaching would never be a part of my career path. The noise and confusion of a classroom, the frequent disrespect students showed to adults and to each other, the incomprehensible math lessonsâŠEven teaching art, my favourite subject, had no appeal. This feeling did not change through the years of high school and university. Hereâs anotherâŠ
Yes, You CAN Write Neurodivergent Characters
A companion to the post Should All Writers Have Neurodivergent Characters?, in which I discussed the mountains of research, storyline alterations, and ethical qualms writers may face when they consider writing fiction with neurodivergent characters. While these are valid concerns, I know that many writers still want to create NCs (neurodivergent characters). Maybe theyâre neuro-spicy themselves,âŠ
Should All Writers Have Neurodivergent Characters? Part 1
Iâd argue that since life is full of neurodivergent people, fiction ought to be as well. We seem to be in a transitional time in the literary world: in the last 10-15 years, an increasing number of neurodivergent and disabled authors have written characters with the same conditions or differences that they have. Alongside this boom in fiction, we have countless YouTubers, podcasters, bloggers,âŠ

Still Functioning
If it isnât obvious by now, regular blogging is not my thing. I wonât apologise for it â I have a number of valid reasons â and I wonât list my excuses,âsince that will probably just bore you. So, dear reader, what should I write about? Maybe youâd like me to share some of my experiences as a neurodivergent and disabled writer, along with some of my tips and tricks. Or youâd like an update on myâŠ

Am I Ready to Continue Writing My Novel?
Learning about my disability and neurodivergence might help me learn how to keep writing.
Roughly a year ago, I wrote a couple of posts about why I decided to stop writing the novel Iâd been working on for over a decade: Leaving the Novel in Progress (Part 1) and Leaving the Novel in Progress (Part 2). I needed to focus on my mental and physical health, neither of which were great at the time. I also needed to re-evaluate my reasons for writing the NIP, and for wanting to be a writerâŠ
