Hi there! Welcome to Plot Twists!
What the Heck Is Plot Twists?
Great question. Plot Twists is my newsletter that shares a new fiction short story every other Thursday and reading-related content alternating weeks.
For you, I hope Plot Twists represents a bite-sized literary entertainment break. A satisfying (🤞🏻) moment spent consuming art. An escape from your busy week to disappear into a new world of story.
More details on what to expect:
🌸 one short story will be delivered to your inbox every other Thursday. These emails will be straightforward – a short intro from me, then the story itself in the body of the email
🌸 stories will range in genre and format: fiction, romance, action, personal essays, a screenplay, more
🌸 preview chapters from some of my full-length novels will be included
🌸 usually the material will be pretty short, a one-sitting read
🌸 these won’t all be perfectly polished gems, some works in progress!
Meet The Author
I’m Elisabeth Edelman, author of these stories and host of this newsletter. I’m also a new mom, a seasoned publicist and an Enneagram 7 (which means we’re gonna have fun!).
I’ve wanted to be a published author as long as I can remember. Years ago, I wrote two novels - the first one is not so good, the requisite first pancake. The second though, that one has potential.
For the last twenty years, I’ve sidelined writing in favor of a career in public relations. But writing was always calling to me. So, I recently sold my PR firm, and now I’m going to give writing a real, full-time shot. Over the years, I’ve developed manuscript plots, a non-fiction concept and a handful of shorts. Now I have time to work on them!
The reality is getting published will take a while, but I’m willing to do this right. Instead of jumping right back in, I’m warming up my creative habit by writing and releasing one short story a week, which I’m sharing for free here.
