Distracted by Pretty Things
How to collaborate with Leslie Senevey
About the Publication
Approximate number of subscribers: 100-500
Categories: Culture, Literature
Subcategories: Personal Essay, Memoir, Lifestyle
Publication Summary: Distracted by Pretty Things is a diary of sorts where I share stories, musings, and occasional obsessions with others who are muddling through life trying to find all the beauty they can along the way. Always authentic, often funny, frequently raw, sometimes embarrassing and forever relatable.
Collaboration Opportunities
Guest posting or cross-posting
Other: mutual shout outs, shares and recommendations
More Details from the Creator:
I'd be interested in swapping posts with another writer - I'd feature a piece of theirs on my publication, and they feature a post of mine on theirs. I'd also be open to recommending each other in our publications. I am a midlife empty nester creative woman who's not afraid to show my "messy" in a relatable, conversational, real way. My subscribers are mostly women, but I do have some men and regularly receive comments from them too. I write about personal experiences that run the gamut from humorous (like all the ways my kids tried to kill each other when they were little, if my pets were people or my childhood quest to be teacher's pet) to the heavy (like my mentally ill sister, being a professional dancer with an aging body, infertility and miscarriage). My subjects don't fit neatly into a niche the same way our life experiences don't. But my consistent voice, tone and point of view are the unifiers of my work.
I've been on Substack since October 2024, and I love the aspect of growing community through my writing. Would love to partner with a well-matched writer to open this new avenue of growing my community in tandem with them growing theirs.
Frequency/Timing of Collaboration Opportunities: I'm guessing maybe once a month.
