A little sisterhood, a whole lot of stories. 💜✈️

Meet the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pen! A group of writers brought together by our love of storytelling, and cheering each other on from different corners of the world. 🥹 Somewhere between hyping each other up, venting about life, and laughing ourselves silly, we found a little sisterhood.

We write different genres, have different voices, and are all at different places in our journeys—but there’s something so special about having women in your corner who get it.

Swipe through our little traveling scrapbook to meet the girls, discover what we’re writing, and maybe find your next favorite author along the way! 📖✨

Here’s to the stories we’re telling and the friendships we’re making while we tell them. 💫

Featuring gorgeous art by the multitalented @freejacklyn

You’re going in my acknowledgements because you keep on showing up! The “I’m seated” comments, DMs, encouragement, and the random “HOW IS THE BOOK GOING?” messages.

When the books come out and you see your name in the acknowledgements, just know I meant it!

This list is actually SO LONG, but I can only tag so many here. Please know that when my books come out, you’ll be the first to know, and I’ll be just as supportive of you and all your creative endeavors.

Tag the people you already know are getting their flowers 💐

✨ writing a book is hard, and marketing it online can be even harder. But it would be so much tougher without community, so I wanted to share some peeps in mine!

✨ I’m so grateful to have had the chance to meet some pretty cool writers on this journey! 🥰 not only do these cool cats inspire with their words and content, but they’re some of the kindest souls I’ve ever met! 💕

✨ now insta is silly and I could only list a few new friends, but I’m gonna do this again soon because truly I’m grateful for you all! 😌💕🫶🏾

Who knew there were so many fantasy genres out there 😉

Whether you’re into romance, gothic, dark, or something in between—there’s a story (and an author) waiting for you.

We’re all creating magic in our own lanes and cheering each other on while we do it!

Go find your next favorite author in this lineup!

@beauteeinwriting Dark Fantasy
Currently working on Draft 2 of Project HECATOMB, an adult dark fantasy novel where obsession festers, corruption spreads, and magic unravels the mind, blistering into psychological horror.

@writeordietrying Urban Fantasy
Currently drafting Wyvern’s Sonata, an urban dark fantasy about a former magically enhanced enforcer learning to rebuild his life when he reunites with the gentle beekeeper he once loved—all within a haunted city ruled by criminal syndicates and injectable magic.

@tiffmuseshere Romance Fantasy
Currently querying To Hatch a Storm, a sweeping romantasy where a tender-hearted Black princess must face her fear of becoming a leader to save her family’s dying bloodline. T casually pitches it as House of the Dragons twisted with elemental magic x Bridgerton’s spice and yearning ✨

@freejacklyn Gothic Romantasy
Currently querying Aetherborn, a gothic political romantasy about a woman whose bloodline and power becomes the weapon every king wants to possess colliding with the man ordered to contain her magic. And drafting Project Seafoam, a romantic villian origin story 👀.

@vjpinney Romantasy
Currently writing an epic fantasy and romantasy involving a dark elf noble who was not born into freedom, but born into rules and expectations. She's set to obey all without question, for stepping out of line means death. But when disobeying the rules causes her whole world to be flipped upside down, she finds herself taking on a task much bigger than she asked for, and an adventure she never imagined.

@chaptersoncaffeine Dark Fantasy
Currently revising Your Eyes Tell Stories, a psychological dark fantasy novella about memory, monstrosity, and what happens when the villain forgets but the survivor doesn’t.
