My Substack newsletter ‘Max's Writing Studio’ is my creative playground for short fiction, behind-the-scenes insights into my novels, and reflections on my writer’s journey. Subscribe and never miss an update.

In early 2024, I decided to create a Substack (aka newsletter) as my public playground, my personal digital gallery, my open studio. I know, studios are more common for visual artists. Sadly. I love the flair of walking into a painter’s studio. Seeing the materials, the tools, the paint. No matter how many different notebooks, pens, typewriters, or screens you buy, a writer’s desk just doesn’t have the same flair. But just imagining this Substack as my studio already liberates my mind to explore creative writing in manifold directions. 

In this space, you will find written pieces about my novels, thoughts on the journey as a writer, and experiments with different formats. Who knows, I might even explore screenplays in the future. I hope you will enjoy what you read. Sometimes for the thoughts it provokes. Other times just for the smile it created on your face. Maybe, even for some inspiration for your own inner creative soul.

I don't have a fixed cadence for when I publish something. However, as a subscriber to my Substack, you can be sure to always be the first to know about any upcoming books of mine. And my free fiction writing I publish only there
