Great writing in any form is so far from a solitary act, but a people-driven thing.
Prosebuds is a place to celebrate the abundant multi-genre writing community, inspired by my own little writing group that could—shout out to OG Prosebuds Emily Hashimoto and Meg Mateo.
Each month the newsletter features a brand new chapter of my own original serialized writing (see: CQ Quintana) + sunshine on one magnificent prosebud in the field.

Become a ‘bud.
If you are a multi-genre writer or want to recommend a writer you love to be featured in a future issue: comment, message, or email, and let’s make it happen. Bring on the prosebud meadow, and together, let’s extend this metaphor for all time.
In the meantime, please join in the comments section, spread the word, and/or or support the work with a subscription. It’s through community that great artists thrive!
Listen to our theme song.
Yep. We have our own theme song.
