Welcome!

Hi! My name is Natalie. I’m an aspiring romance author and am currently working to earn my MFA in Popular Fiction and Publishing (which I generally refer to as creative writing) from Emerson College. I’ve always been a BIG reader- so much so that when I was a kid, my punishment for misbehaving was having my books taken away.

Since I love reading and writing so much, that is what this blog is going to be about. I have a bookstagram where I post about the books I read and love as well as my writing, and I plan to also share those thoughts here. It’s @nintiharwrites (super creative name here, I know!)

Anyways, this is my first post but I’ll be sharing lots of book reviews, recommendations, writing content, and more here. I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to get to know you!

❤ Natalie
