Hi everyone! I’m Savannah, a fiction writer originally from Chicago, though my imagination tends to roam much farther. I’ve been scribbling stories since I was a kid. I mostly write speculative fiction and character-driven stories with a bit of mystery tucked inside.

My writing journey got more serious a few years ago when I finally stopped waiting for the “perfect time” to start. Right now, I’m working on my first real novel, which explores memory, time, and the quiet weight of things left unsaid.

I love that early stage of writing when the characters start making their own choices and surprising me.

Really glad to be here and excited to connect with fellow writers on the same journey 😍

Hi everyone! I’m Kelly, an English writing grad with a love for stories that come from real-life glimpses. I always carry a travel journal and love making up characters based on the people I see on the road (yes, I love to people watch). Right now, I’m exploring how to turn those little sparks into something bigger. Excited to be here and learn from you all!

Hey folks! Pete here! I’ve been writing stories for years, but have yet to publish anything...coming soon though! I started writing children's books for my grandkids, which has brought me so much joy, to see my words making them smile and laugh. Really excited to see where this journey with Spines takes me! Happy to be a part of this community :)

Hi! I’m Emma Davis, from Austin, Texas. I write fantasy and a bit of historical fiction because I love exploring magical worlds and the complexity of human nature. I started writing after reading a book that completely changed my perspective on storytelling, and it inspired me to create my own worlds. My favorite part is bringing characters to life on the page and seeing them grow beyond my imagination! Fun fact: I always HAVE TO write with a cup of chamomile tea by my side—it’s my secret writing fuel. Excited to be here!

Hi there! I’m Charlotte Miller, and I’m based in Seattle, WA. It’s always exciting to meet other writers from around the globe and see how our different backgrounds influence our stories!

My writing is primarily poetry. I find myself drawn to the adventures of life and nature, and it’s amazing to dive into those worlds through my writing.

I’ve always loved storytelling, but it was a trip to the Amazon Rainforest that really lit the spark for me to start writing. That experience pushed me to pursue my passion and bring my ideas to life.

I’m absolutely fascinated by the different forms of poetry, and how they can communicate different things. Whether it’s crafting the first draft or revising the details, I love how each stage shapes the final story. It’s always thrilling to see a piece of writing evolve.

🤔 Fun fact about my writing journey: One quirky habit I have is I start each poem with a drawing of a leaf or plant. Because my work is so interconnected to nature, I find that it helps to have that drawing to ground me in my words. It’s something that’s been with me throughout my writing journey and makes the process feel even more personal!

Can’t wait to connect with everyone and hear your stories too!

Hi everyone! I’m Diego Martinez, and I’m currently calling California my home. As a writer, I’m always fascinated by how our surroundings shape our words and stories, so it's great to connect with fellow authors from around the world!

🫵 Genres I write in: I’m passionate about storytelling. Whether it’s the world of fiction or mystery, my creativity is fueled by exploring problems, solutions, and the journey on the way from one to the other.

💡 What inspired me to start writing: Writing was something that came to me gradually, but I’d say being trapped in my home during COVID-19 gave me no choice but to sit down and begin. That time alone gave me the courage to start putting my thoughts into words, and here I am!

🥰 My favorite part of the writing process: I absolutely love bringing my characters to life! It’s the part of the journey where everything begins to feel real, and my characters finally have a chance to speak for themselves.

🤔 Fun fact about my writing journey: I’ve always had a bit of a quirky habit! I cannot write without my mood ring. I let the mood that it shows on it direct my writing to be happy, sad, angry, or any direction it brings me! It’s one of the things that makes the whole process so fun and uniquely mine!

Looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you!
