Welcome to The Writer’s Attic
An attic is a lofty place, a place to sort through complex thoughts. Here, our discussions move beyond the basics of writing and into more specific skills. As I experiment with my own fiction writing, I share with you the ideas and approaches I’m using to enhance my stories.
Who am I?
I’m Parker Peevyhouse, author of novels published by Penguin and Macmillan. I occasionally teach creative writing courses and provide paid writing critiques.
My books have been called “rare gems” (BCCB), “complex, unique, and alluring” (VOYA), “compulsively readable” (Booklist), “excellent” (Booklist), and “thrilling” (Kirkus).
