About Me

I am Layla Todd, a twenty-year-old word witch and poetess passionate about life where it intersects with writing and the dreamscapes lost in between. I am from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and am currently studying Creative Writing at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

I started this blog in 2018. Although it began as a space to share daily poetry, I soon realized I love more than just the act of writing. I love process of writing, exploring how writing affects who I am, and how it ties into my lifestyle.

I share writing and blogging tips, marketing advice, and lifestyle and fashion posts aimed at beginner to published writers alongside poetry and prose that illustrates my writing techniques and knowledge.

Here is a little bit more about what I share here on the blog.

A Writer’s Guide

I share my knowledge of writing in creative writing guides aimed at helping writers learn to focus, refine, and market their writing. I publish these guides ideally once a month, and ideas for future how-to’s and guides are always welcome!

I also share writer’s lifestyle and fashion posts in addition to my usual writing and blogging tips posts, and you can expect to see further guides on clothing and lifestyle appear here as I move forward.

Poetry

I use poetry as a form of exploration, healing, and expression. I also enjoy expressing ideas and thoughts on mainstream topics by way of poetry and short stories instead of writing longer articles. Responding to current news events or historical moments through poetry is both healing and interpretive, and offers deeper meaning to readers than a simple opinion piece.

Published Work

My writing is published extensively online at poetry journals and magazines. I am also a part of numerous print anthologies expressing thought on everything from women’s empowerment to climate change. To read my published work, explore my published work posts!
