Hi folks. I’m still in New England taking care of my best friend post-surgery, living my best personal assistant / chauffeur / nanny life, and so I don’t have a channeled essay for you this week. The tl;dr is that
the Full Moon is exact at 12* Libra at 10:11pm Eastern on Wednesday, April 1st.
Notably, the moon moves toward a square with Jupiter in the wake of its peak fullness — which bodes well for bringing things begun on October 21, 2025’s New Moon in Libra. Our efforts from last fall are finally, at long last, coming to fruition, perhaps after many false starts and delays. For that moon, we talked about publishing and the advice from that one Aaliyah song, that if at first you don’t succeed: dust yourself off and try again.
Evergreen advice for writing. Evergreen advice for a writing career, too.
Which brings me to an announcement that I am so fucking stoked for, that I haven’t been able to shut up about in Discord or at last week’s Meet Your Muse. (And no, this isn’t an April Fools. I’m too Saturn to do that shit.)
For the writers looking to incorporate magic into your publishing journey — and who are looking to get serious about your publishing journey in the first place — I’d like to invite you to a 10 week witchcraft and publishing intensive, which is very much the culmination of nearly a decade of work:
You are going to learn how to marry the magical with the practical in a way that works for you... AND supports your publishing journey.
You’re going to get clear on how to do witchcraft for your professional creative pursuits... AND meet with industry professionals, from Big 5 editors to bestselling authors, who can illuminate the path forward.
You’re going to do spells AND make spreadsheets (okay both are optional but you get the vibe!).
And you’re going to be more inspired AND focused than ever.
For 10 weeks, from Sunday, April 26th to Sunday, June 28th, we’ll use your birth chart, the magical power of ritual, conversations with industry pros, and straight up spellcraft to break through to the next level in your publishing journey — and get career-defining clarity on what actually works for you.
8 live rituals. 9 live Q&As. Asynchronous guided meditations. Publishing 101. Witchcraft 101. AND guided walk-throughs from me for publishing spells that actually work.
This is what I needed when I first started my journey in traditional publishing, back when I was going on sub and not selling (before I did a lot of magic and then sold for six figures at auction).
Oh, and about those industry pros who will be answering your questions —
You’ll get to directly ask your publishing and writing questions to:
Dana Murphy, literary agent at Trellis, and my own agent of 7 years
Jenny Xu, senior editor at Atria Books (S&S), and my own editor for Heretic
Carla Bruce, a publicist at Lavender Public Relations, former Director of Publicity at Harper One World, and longtime newsletter reader
, nonfiction MFA faculty, former small press editor, and acclaimed memoirist, and my writers’ group comrade these last 8 years!
, a USA Today Bestselling dark romantasy author who began her career indie (self) publishing before transitioning to Big 5, and a beloved longtime client
Casey McQuiston, a #1 New York Times bestselling author of queer romance and dear friend
I’ll be sharing more about the intensive as the month goes on, but if this is a full body YES for you, if you know you want in, if you are ready to sign up literally RIGHT NOW on DAY ONE, I’d love to offer you a special thank you.
Everyone who signs up TODAY on April 1st will get a 3-card tarot reading from me with advice on and insight into your creative practice — along with an oracle card to indicate a deity who is involved in the work.
For all y’all who are in TODAY, I’ll deliver a voice note straight to your inbox by April 10th. (Would love it to be sooner, but again — the benefit of being a self-employed working writer means getting to announce this incredible intensive I’ve been birthing behind the scenes for months while actively supporting my bestie and caring for my niblings!)
I’ll be sharing more about Book Deal Breakthrough as the month goes on but y’all… this is gonna be life changing.
I know the power that can happen when a group of spiritually-oriented creatives are actively working to birth new things into the world, and it is powerful and potent and uplevels THE ENTIRE GROUP.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
I can’t fucking wait.
