Welcome! I’m a writer who loves to make stuff.
My fiction is about adventurous women with a connection to the past: secrets, sisters, and a touch of the supernatural.
As a freelancer, I write about women, history and crafts, and I host a podcast called Handmade History with my sister Sonia. Every other week September – May, we share stories about the people, materials, and practices related to modern-day handcrafts. I’ve also published a few down-to-earth writing guides (like DIY Writing Retreat) for fellow writers.
I have my MFA from the University of New Hampshire, and I live in a delightfully charming and slightly spooky corner of Maine with my husband, kids, and cats.
If you’d like to follow along and find out when I publish something new, please sign up for my newsletter below.
Thank you for your support!
Hi Alicia, I’m currently studying – and loving – your DIY Guide to Chick Lit on my kindle but want to have it in print. I notice it is only available digitally, but is it possible to buy it as a PDF so I can print it out? Many thanks for any help.
Hi Bea! Yes, it is. My guides are for sale on Etsy as PDFs. You can find them here. Thank you! –Alicia
Hi, my wife and I own 3 vacation apartments in Tisno, Croatia. Our business name is Lilly’s cozy cove. I am creating a DIY writers retreat package during our off season which is but not limited to January, February and March. This could even extend in the the months of October, November and December. We will offer very reasonable rates, privacy, activities like hikes or nature park excursions and can include meals as I was a chef for over 3 decades back in the US. My wife speaks fluent Croatian and English and I speak English of course. I know you are very busy but if you have any suggestions on what to incorporate(I am purchasing your book on kindle…downloading now) or organizations to contact we would be most grateful. Sincerely,
Joe Lilly
Hey Alicia,
I don’t know if you remember off the top of your head, but you reviewed my book ‘It’s Witchcraft’ a few years ago and I truly appreciated the honest review that you gave it. Your honest review of ‘It’s Witchcraft’ helped me get my name out there a bit more in the witchcraft community and now I’m looking for a good book reviewer to write an honest review about my most recent fiction novel ‘Anything’. I’m working very hard to get my name out there as and indie author and I was hoping that you would be interested in doing a review of my novel ‘Anything’ or that you could point me in the direction of a reliable book review blog. If you’re interested, I’ll put a link at the end of this comment to the synopsis of ‘Anything’ on my writing blog and you can check that out. The entire novel is on my writing blog for free so it wouldn’t cost you or other readers anything. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thank you again for your previous work.
Sincerely,
Jamie Weaver

Hi Jamie! Just emailed you–thanks for reaching out. Happy to read your book, as I said, and working on a post about good book bloggers for indie authors. I’d love to hear of any you come across. Thanks! –Alicia

Thanks very much for the downloadable submission spreadsheet! Nice of you! I write fiction and nonfiction books for adults and occasionally children, and use QueryTracker.com, but yours is a simple, immediately available way to keep track (slightly modified to use with publishers and agents).
