About the Substack

Welcome! As a former travel writer turned novelist, you can expect my insights into the writing and publishing process, a peek into my homesteading life in rural Western Massachusetts, and plenty of what inspires me in the day-to-day.

About Amy Hagstrom

I'm a travel writer turned upmarket fiction writer. A lifelong CA & PNW native, I moved to Central Mexico, then to Western Massachusetts, where I now work, write, and try my hand at wanna-be homesteading.
