Some Chapters in a Woman's Life are Just Bitter.
Those Chapters Do NOT Get the Final Word.

'Round here, we pick up our feminist, matriarchal pens, and we write back.

Hi, I'm Lizzy!

I’ve been a book freak all my life- I spent much of my childhood hiding in closets reading instead of studying or doing chores. Sometimes I long for those days!

The last few years, I’ve started writing too — about the parts of my life that are often too painful to say out loud, or too complicated to talk about in public.

From single-mama heartaches to life as a Mormon, my pages hold space for the shame, deconstruction, and regret that kept me barely able to get out of bed for nearly a year.

And if you see yourself in my stories, and wonder if your writing could help you heal yourself – or others – there's a growing community of women waiting to meet you with open arms.

"People carry around their stories forever in their cells. And once you get it out of you and onto the page – you're never going to forget it. But it's not as heavy. A lot of (writing) is lightening the load."

–Nancy Slonim Aronie

"Creativity is on the side of health — it isn't the thing that drives us mad; it is the capacity in us that tries to save us from madness."

–Jeanette Winterson
