I’m so excited to share The Morning Zine, my new monthly snail-mail mini magazine designed to help you slow down and enjoy some off-screen, cozy time.
When you join, you’ll receive The Morning Zine each month — a thoughtfully designed, full-color paper zine created for adults who love journaling, paper art, bookish details, healthy treats, and gentle mornings away from screens.
Each issue is built around a seasonal theme and includes:
- A beautifully illustrated 12-page zine filled with calming activities such as crossword puzzles, word searches, tactile puzzles with pieces to complete, gentle breathing and reflection prompts, and a colorful mini paper art project to cut out and enjoy at your own pace
- The Morning Zine each month — a thoughtfully designed, full-color paper zine created for adults who love journaling, paper art, bookish details, healthy treats, and gentle mornings away from screens.
- A collectible healthy dessert recipe card from my blog, featuring a real photograph of the finished recipe and designed to be cut out and saved — one new card each month
- A personal letter from Sam, my curious, observant twenty-something cozy mystery heroine, sharing reflections, questions, and glimpses into her world
Subtle appearances by Sam and her pets — her dog, cat, and bird — woven throughout the zine’s writing and activities, with light, playful connections to her ongoing story found in my upcoming cozy mystery series.
Most months, the zine arrives as a complete, self-contained experience. Occasionally, you may find a small surprise tucked inside — such as a handmade sticker, puzzle pieces, a custom bookmark, or a mini paper envelope — just for fun.
This project exists to bring quiet joy, creativity, and tactile delight back into the day. If you love opening real mail, putting pen to paper, and spending time away from screens, I’m so glad you’re here — and I can’t wait to share The Morning Zine with you.
