• …if you’ve read or seen the School for Good & Evil, and want to join me in my next journey.

• …if you’re a writer honing your craft, and want to learn what’s worked for me in my darkest hours.

• …if you’re just curious to see an author swing for the fences with the biggest challenge of his career.

This diary is about the behind-the-scenes journey to write my biggest book yet.

The day-to-day war of storytelling, the triumphs and defeats, the blood, sweat, and tears…

I’m hoping that by sharing my raw process with you in real-time, it’ll demystify and defang the big scary dragon that is writing a novel. I’m hoping writers will feel less alone, like you have a friend on your path. And readers will experience their next books with a deeper sense of what went into making it.

Here, you’ll get access not just to my diaries, but also exclusive content and previews of the new novel. But perhaps most ambitiously, the goal is to build a community here. Our once and future EverNever Army, carrying kindred writers and readers into a new young world.

This diary is completely free and open for everyone to read. In full disclosure though, we are planning on introducing a paid subscription tier in the future, with a slate of additional perks, access, and exclusive writing.

For now, please consider subscribing and sharing this diary with your friends (especially those who know and love The School for Good and Evil). 

While this novel will be very different from SGE, it has all the hallmarks of the things I love -- fantasy, romance, comedy, horror, twists and turns, all wrapped in one epic adventure. But this time, you won't have to wait for the book to be along for the ride. 

See you in my diary…

Love,

Soman
