About Me

For me, writing fantasy is a kind of creative engagement with the soul of the world. A big part of my motivation for telling stories comes from a feeling of reverence for this wild cosmos we’re a part of. I want it to set my imagination on fire, and to make stories that help reawaken our old kinship with nature in this time of uncertainty and loss.

The BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly goal we need for us to keeping paying the new higher SFWA rate to our authors. Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we totally understand. But <1% of our readership donates or supports. https://www.patreon.com/beneath_ceaseless_skies 1/2

I LOVE how intense this workshop sounds. From what I've heard you're likely to improve significantly if you put the work in with these guys. Would be so cool to be there in person, working your arse off with people who care about writing speculative fiction as much as you do.
