Welcome, Marginally listeners!

Chances are, you found me via the wonderful women at Marginally podcast. I am so glad you stopped by! My name is Alicia and I am an indie writer in Maine, where I live with my family. I love flowcharts, DIY, murder mysteries, and Indiana Jones.

Right now, I’m getting ready to launch The Writer’s Process Planner. It’s a planner just for writers, complete with weekly and monthly spreads to help you reach your writing goals, trackers to help you notice your progress, and a guide to help you shift your mindset–so you can find joy in your regular writing practice.

Want to learn more? Click here to read about last year’s edition, and sign up here to find out when the 2020 edition drops (and get a free goal-setting guide).

The Writer’s Process Planner will be on sale on Amazon, B&N, and others!

It’s coming!

Curious about my other projects? I’ve also written the DIY Writing series – DIY Writing Retreat and DIY Chick Lit

And I’ve done a few other things…

Scratch Paper Podcast – A true behind-the-scenes look at writing along with nitty gritty details about how to submit work, where to submit fiction, how to pitch nonfiction, how I write with tarot cards, the many things I have done to market my work, and more!


My nonfiction and fiction has been published by a variety of publications. I’m represented by Sharon Pelletier of Dystel, Goderich, and Bourret.


Right now, I’m working on a novel. So far, all I’ve got is “Indiana Jones with emotional depth.”


Want to find out more about any/all of these things? Sign up for my monthly newsletter! It’s a real-life look at what creative living looks like. Plus discounts! Goes out the first of each month. No fluff!
