Sign up for a FREE or Paid Subscription — YOUR CHOICE.
Writers' Haven by Christine Wolf offers inspiration, motivation, and encouragement through meaningful explorations of the writing life.
In addition to my own observations, you'll find a mix of one-on-one interviews with other writers, writing tips, info about online writing sprints and in-person writing retreats, and (gulp) a fledgling podcast and (soon-to-come) video.
I don't send spammy updates, and I don't share your email with anyone. You can opt-out of your subscription at any time.
Some examples of my recent posts include
• Why I Write
• On Becoming A Storyteller
• When Your Estranged Parent Dies, Grief is Complicated
• Overdose Awareness -- And How We Might Finally Break The Cycles of Shame, Silence, and Secrecy About Addiction
• This Profile on Author John Otterbacher
For those already familiar with my writing, you know I've been sharing it since 2007 in various formats, beginning with my first Wordpress blog, then with Patch.com, ChicagoNow, Medium.com, The Chicago Tribune, and other publications.
Transparency and vulnerability have been the cornerstones of my work, and I don't shy away from discussing the hard stuff. I've been honored to take readers along for the ride as I develop my voice, my confidence, and a loyal community of supportive followers.
I'm excited to build this Substack community to reflect your interests and those of writers and readers alike.
Benefits of a PAID Subscription
I also offer a paid version of the newsletter. The financial support helps immensely, enabling me to research subjects in-depth and offer scholarships to some of my less financially secure memoir coaching clients.
To express my thanks for this financial support, paid subscribers can count on:
a) Exclusive, long-form pieces
b) Behind-the-scenes passages from my memoir-in-progress, and
c) Having your name featured in my published memoir when it comes out.
