ABOUT STAR MAPS & SEA MONSTERS
Star Maps and Sea Monsters is a monthly newsletter of writing inspiration with a speculative bent.
Each Star Maps and Sea Monsters contains An Inspiration or Two (typically a link to a recent short story I loved, an album I am writing to, or a podcast I recommend), and a place or two to apply to or to submit your work. I’ll also let you know where you find me/ my stories, and I hope you’ll come say hello.
It’s a great way to work with me for free, or explore whether you’d like to work with me in the future. If you’re curious, you can also just schedule an introductory writing tea!
Sign up for Star Maps & Sea Monsters, and get a pdf of my Five Minute Writing Session Planner, a writing gift I made for an artist who asked me this question: I got my writing time! Where do I start?
See you on the open seas. Thank you for sharing this adventure with me!
Preview Issues
“Syr's care and attentiveness with my work makes me feel like a writer whose work matters”
“The mode of reading in their workshops, is deeply generous and helps surface themes in my writing that I didn't even realize. Having that trust in my fellow readers helps me lean into drafting as early, messy, but still with kernels in it of something bigger, because I know it will be taken for what it is and will be, not what it isn't.”

“"Syr pushes writers to tear down their limiting beliefs about what they can and can’t do, and shows them how to rebuild their creative cities”
"With Syr's help, writers don’t just find their creative genius, they wrestle it to the ground and then learn how to make it fall in love with them." ”
