my name is rayne! i mostly write long-form essays. my work is about a lot of things, but i like to think it’s mostly about attention: what we do with it, what we do to get it, and what it does to us in return. nick catucci once said that I “wrote the substack blog as we understand it into existence”, which was very kind.
the best way you can support my work is by engaging with it — i am always so excited to get comments, emails, book recommendations, anecdotes. the second best way you can support my work is by subscribing for $5/month, which is what makes all of this possible.
i have a book coming out sometime in the future called COMPLEX FEMALE CHARACTER. I don’t have a release date because i’m still writing it. if you have ever figured out how to write a book before, feel free to send me some tips.
thank you <3
