hi, and welcome back!

as someone who has been floating around in online writing spaces for a while, it's been hard not to notice just how self-deprecating authors can be, and how at times, in an industry where so much seems to rely on luck and fate and higher powers, expressing career ambition is discouraged.

let's break that stigma! today i wanted to chat about the importance of authorial ambition and some of my biggest, most secret career ambitions as a 2026 debut author.

thank you for watching! :)
