Why am I launching Max's Writing Studio?
Why am I launching Max's Writing Studio?
Hi there! Welcome to my substack space.
After over a decade of dabbling with writing, I finally committed to taking it seriously in 2023. I wrote my first novel Feierabend. And I’m already on the second one.
But novels take a long time to reach readers. Especially if, like me, you take the traditional publishing route. I miss the interaction with readers, the thrill of hitting a ‘send’ button. Also, there is so much in writing to play around with that might never make it into a novel.
So, I have decided to create this substack as my public playground, my personal digital gallery, my open studio. It’s a space where I can explore the art of writing in its many facets, and share it with you my dear reader. To entertain you, make you smile, provoke new thoughts, and maybe even provide some inspiration for your own inner creative soul.
In this space you’ll find written pieces about my novels, thoughts on the journey as a writer, and experiments with different formats - currently it’s flash fiction. Who knows, I might even explore screenplays in the future ;)
I won’t have a fixed cadence of publishing posts. I also, don’t have a paid subscription. Going commercial here would prevent me from playing with my art.
Of course, I always appreciate support for my writing in the form of sharing it with more people, some generous feedback, and connections to agents and publishers.
Enjoy looking around my studio! The post on my first novel Feierabend, or the flash fiction What’s Wrong with Tuesdays? are good starting points.
Oh, and in case you haven’t yet, please subscribe to not miss out on my future pieces :)
