Support Pen, Prose, & Progress

This space is free to read, always — because paywalls are fucking bullshit.

But I still need to pay bills. So if you love what I’m building and want to help keep it going, you can support my work with a paid subscription.

Essays & reflections on life, writing, and everything in between
Critical book reviews that explore craft elements as well as an overall analysis of plot, characters, and themes
Art, sketches, and visual storytelling — in process or polished
Fiction, poetry, and whatever I’m figuring out in real time
Personal truths — messy, vulnerable, and probably a little unhinged
Monthly roundups of inspiration, reading recommendations, and thoughts from deep inside my brain

No locked posts. Just me.

Thanks for being here. I hope you find it a pleasant place to be.
