    About The Creative Writing Life

    Welcome to The Creative Writing Life…

    The Creative Writing Life helps writers achieve success by supporting healthy mindsets and sustainable creative practices.

    Unlike a lot of other popular writing websites, The Creative Writing Life is run by an actual working writer, not just someone who only writes about writing.

    I believe that by pursuing meaningful, purposeful writing projects, and bringing a sense of creative play into our work, we writers can achieve our creative goals and lead fulfilling, successful lives both on and off the page.

    About The Author

    My name is Kate Krake. I’ve been a writer for most of my life, and professionally for about fifteen years. 

    I write magical and otherworldly fiction, and nonfiction for writers.

    I have written over thirty novels for myself (with thirteen currently published), seven non-fiction books, and countless articles and posts.

    I have previously worked as a writer for hire as a content writer, music journalist, blogger, copywriter, editor, and ghostwriter.

    These days I only write for myself… and for YOU!

    The Creative Writing Life represents my beliefs about what it means to me to live a fulfilling creative writer’s life. It is also a space where I form my thoughts, opinions, and aspirations in real time. Even though I’ve been writing for a long, long time, I’m still learning about the writing life right alongside with you.

    Newsletter

    I used to send out a monthly newsletter, but I find a lot more value in newsletters that only come out when I have something meaningful to say, rather than sent only for the sake of a schedule.

    When I do send emails, I send ideas, essays, and advice on all kinds of writer life things, as well as news of when I have a new book for writers coming out or a special offer.
