A simple checklist for self publishers

October 21, 2021October 22, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

My second self-published poetry collection comes out next week. I thought the second time around would be easier. I was wrong. Turns out going wide is more work than sticking with Kindle Direct (Amazon). I learned the ropes a bit when I published prisonbreaks, and Killing Ghosts felt bigger to me. I wanted to give…

The Done List: Recording your wins

October 9, 2021December 10, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Honestly, a lot of times, the Done List looks different than my mental To Do list that I had in the morning, but that’s okay. As a result, I put words on paper, stop the self flagellation (okay, at least mitigate it a bit), and appreciate the addition to my day.

It’s okay to make money writing

August 5, 2021August 5, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

The idea of only writing because you love it pops up in writer conversations all the time. The ideal is usually spewed by someone who has been writing for decades with nominal success. The frustration and disappointment are palpable. “Real writers would write whether they were making money or not.” Let’s get this straight: I’ve…

What I’ve learned in my first month on TikTok

July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

All of the authors on TikTok kept telling me BookTok was a thing I should care about. And I believed them; I just didn’t know if I cared enough to get over my fear of video. Here’s some background: I’ve worked professionally in social media since 2008. I’ve been an early adopter of all new…

Writing as a Mental Health Tool

June 11, 2021June 10, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

My writing has been an extension of my thought life since I was a kid. When solutions or situations are hard to understand in my head, I can put them into a document, and suddenly they feel clearer. I write out responses or thoughts or ideas — not only for other people, but so I…

When we need community most

May 6, 2021May 7, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

It’s really easy to believe that your words don’t matter. That you’re too busy and there just isn’t time. That it’s just too hard right now. And maybe it is. Or maybe we just need to know that we aren’t alone and that there are hands on our backs.

To my son: Never try to blend in

May 3, 2021May 7, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

It’s in chasing those dreams that we discover open doors we never knew existed. In chasing those dreams we fail and we grow and we discover new dreams. We become who we are and we become whole.

Why do we write?

May 3, 2021May 7, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

We’re so full of doubt. Even if we manage to get over the unbelievable hurdles of writing with children occupying every moment of your day and all of the space in your brain, we rarely know what to do with it. Will anyone even read the words that manage to escape onto paper?

About

May 3, 2021May 3, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Moms are creators. We create life. We create love. We create homes. And some of us create things with our words. The catalyst for this project was my cry for friends who would get it. For other women who were trying to create and get the words and stories out of their heads. Who were…
