Alchemy

Welcome to Alchemy – your one-stop-shop for all things creative, snarky, and occasionally profound. Here, you'll find everything from Podcasts (including the pithy Short n' Sweet versions) and writer's prompts to the wildly entertaining Snarkblogs and reviews of the Alchemy Podcast by none other than The Snark – our Effigy Press staff writer who, frankly, is far too talented to be working with us (yes, dummy, I wrote this).

​

Now, we know what you're thinking: "Isn’t this just for Young Adult authors?" And sure, we’re giving YA folks some extra love, but let’s be real – if you’re a writer of any genre, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be diving into this delightful mess of literary wisdom (and occasional snark). We've got plenty of cultural deep-dives, writing issues we’ll poke fun at, and some tips to help you break through the existential dread that is writing a book.

​

The goal? To keep you inspired and motivated to finish that masterpiece you’ve been working on since the '90s, or, you know, last Tuesday. Because let’s face it – sometimes, the hardest part of writing isn’t finding your voice; it’s finding the motivation to finish something that doesn't make you want to immediately toss your laptop into the nearest body of water.

​

So, welcome to a world where words don’t just sit there looking pretty – they have the power to shape your future... or at least help you finish that manuscript without Googling "how to disappear off the grid."
