↠ ABOUT ME ↞
If you’re new here, hi! 👋 I’m Olivia, a twenty-something writer living on the central coast of California. I hold a MFA degree in Creative Writing from Pacific University, and I’m currently revising my debut novel (Project Amaranth)—the first book in a high fantasy series, an epic tale of love and loss, hope and grief, and the bonds of friendship forged through fire.

This YouTube channel is a cozy corner of the internet where I share about all things books, creativity, travel, and life design. My goal is to inspire and encourage you on your own creative journey. Thanks for stopping by! ☀️
