Launching Argent Hedgehog Press Coaching and Consulting

June 30, 2026

Launching Argent Hedgehog Press Coaching and Consulting I want to introduce you to the new Argent Hedgehog Press. When I started writing, long ago now, I dreamed about getting published. After finishing the first book of my Source Chronicles fantasy series, I made a concerted effort to go the traditional publishing route. I queried many, many agents.

Circles around words "And so I chose to Begin Again". Sometimes you pivot, sometimes you start anew

Sometimes You Pivot, Sometimes You Start Anew

Sometimes You Pivot, Sometimes You Start Anew Writing projects sometimes don’t go as planned. Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash Last week I began writing a blog entry. It was slow going, and the idea was percolating in my head but not fully brewing. Still, I stabbed at it, got a few paragraphs written.

Is the Screen Staring Back at Me? Some days, it feels like the blank screen is judging me. Photo by Alex Knight on Unsplash You know what a writer does? They write. A writer sits down in front of their screen or a blank page and puts the ideas in their head onto it. The process takes typing or pen to paper.

Reading to Improve Your Writing

May 26, 2026

Reading to Improve Your Writing Reading as a writer is still super important. Photo by Hümâ H. Yardım on Unsplash For many years, reading was something of a luxury. I loved to do it, but finding the time for it proved increasingly challenging. Still, I know that reading as a writer is important. Why?
