About the Substack

An insider's view into writing, publishing, mid-life crises, and overall angst. From a literary agent, a publishing consultant, a former therapist, and an author. From one who's been there - and is still there much of the time.

About Kristen Moeller, MS, MFA

Literary agent, former therapist, writer. Exploring the Helper's Dilemma, messy lives, and truth-telling. Working on my memoir No Wonder Iโ€™m Tired. Coffee-fueled. Pit bull softened. No neat bowsโ€”just truth.
