Why subscribe to Tragedy Plus Time?

I’m an author, an editor, a teacher, a Netflix subscriber, and probably my therapist’s favorite, and I have a lot to say about all of those things.

In each newsletter I’ll offer you:

  • Writing gossip

  • Practical writing tips for writers who say they “can’t” write

  • What I learned in therapy

  • Jokes and how to make them

  • Thirst traps

  • Links for upcoming classes before anyone else gets them

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website.

You’re invited

To a community of writers, artists, students, readers, funny people, therapy patients, warriors for love, and doomscrollers who want to heal through art or whatever.
