Hello and welcome to Natalie Writes Things!

A newsletter about all things writing from a playwright/marketing copywriter/UX writer/writer who works with AI/former theater reviewer/now aspiring novelist/jack-of-all-writing-trades, really. Subscribe now to stay in the loop!

This newsletter will be:

  • about writing, mostly, from plays to prose to *sigh* content of the money-producing variety.

  • accountability for my novel-writing journey, as I attempt to transform my most popular play into a fun Young Adult novel that’s easier to share with folks.

  • a place for me to hopefully build writing community, because if you’re on Writing Substack, chances are you’re very cool and I want to know you!

  • finding itself for a while, honestly. Will I share actual fiction on here, or am I too afraid of it getting scraped by AI to train the next generation of Large Language Models? How personal am I going to get? Currently unclear.

  • free. I get money from my corporate overlords; I don’t need any from you. Support your local theater instead!

  • a place to share extra pictures of my dog, because I can.

Looking for more?

If you’re a theatrically-minded person and you’re already on the New Play Exchange, find me there! I have full versions of over a dozen plays up there, from shorts to a 3-hour-long epic about Sigmund Freud’s daughter building a big gay life and then escaping from Nazi-occupied Austria.

Anyway, let’s hit you with that Subscribe button one more time for good measure. Cheers!
