Hi! My name is Andrea and I am a writer and, before I became a parent, I worked as a creative producer and associate producer in the film and television industry. I also taught screenwriting and other film courses at the college level. I still want to do all those things— and I will— but, at this very moment, parenthood is calling and I must go.

That means this newsletter is written by someone who is parenting full-time. I have a toddler and a baby on the way, and I talk about that a lot. I’ve also recently moved across Canada— from Ontario to Kelowna, British Columbia— to be closer to the mountains and, every day, my little family and I are slowly building our life here.

Why subscribe?

You like to read lifestyle, narrative-driven newsletters about parenting, writing, literature, and/or film and television, or you know me and want those toddler/baby updates!

I’m also going to sporadically talk about “The Kelowna Summer” which is apparently incredible. This will be our first summer here and I’m looking forward to finding out what makes this place so desirable (and busy!).

Here’s a good place to start if you want to know more about what this newsletter is all about.

Stay up-to-date
