Hi. These are Maggie and Andrew’s Unpublishable essays.

We are two writer besties who have been writing and editing full-time for the past 10 years. One of the side effects of writing for other people is that you get edited. A lot. We were both lamenting the loss of our own voices through other publications, as well as the difficulty of selling essays on personal topics. If the article doesn’t include a lot of gear links or service lists, most places don’t want it.

So! We decided to create this collection of essays about the most inane, personal topics we feel like writing about. Once a month, Maggie and Andrew will each write an essay that gets sent out to subscribers for zero dollars.

We don’t really know what we’ll write about until we write it, but we’re both so happy to be writing in our own voices that it doesn’t matter.

If you subscribe, it would make us so happy.

Two essays a month sent to you. We bet you’ll be able to relate to the themes, even if they’re mostly about cats and self esteem. We promise we won’t try to sell you any products, there are no affiliate links, and no perky final paragraphs where we tie things up with a positive, upbeat bow to keep advertisers happy.

Follow along.
