Dear Carie,
Hi! I recently got lost on the internet and ended up at your website. I’m curious: who are you and what do you do and what’s the best way to find out what you’re up to?
Sincerely,
Imaginary Person


Dear Imaginary Person,
Welcome! No matter how you found my website, I’m glad you’re here. I’ve gained several new followers lately and have received a few questions, so I created this guide to help you find your way around.
Enjoy,
Carie
Question: I’m confused… are you a horror writer, a children’s writer, a novelist, or a poet?


I’m all of those things! My writing self contains multitudes. I’ve published dozens of poems over the years and have written creepy tales for both children and adults, but not all of my stories are scary. To learn about the books I’ve written, click here. For a complete list of my publications, click here.
What are you working on right now?


I’m working on a middle grade novel about a raccoon trying to leave a life of crime. It’s an action-packed story full of quirky animal characters and lots of hilarious misunderstandings. I’m currently searching for a literary agent interested in representing this project.
Question: To stay informed about your various writing projects and other important events, should I subscribe to your blog or to your newsletter?


The answer is YES! I recommended subscribing to both. Although there is some overlap between my blog and my newsletter, they include different content to keep you on your toes. For instance, if you’re only following my blog, you missed out on a recent anecdote about me embarrassing myself in front of a UPS driver. But if you’re only subscribed to my newsletter, you won’t see the creepy Valentine I’m going to share this Wednesday.
Ok, you got me. I want to subscribe to both, but where do I go to do that?


To subscribe to this blog, look for a “Subscribe” link hovering in the lower right corner of your screen and click on it. Once you sign up, you’ll receive an email each time I post a new piece to my blog, usually once or twice a month. To subscribe to my newsletter, click here. Then you’ll start getting my monthly-ish newsletter. (Not sure if you want to receive my news? You can see past issues by clicking the “Newsletters” tab at the top of the page.)
Your website and newsletter sometimes look weird on my phone. Why is that?


Sorry! I do my best to make sure my content looks good on all platforms, but sometimes the formatting appears a little wonky on smaller screens. Try viewing the post on a laptop or tablet instead. If things still look weird, or if you can’t find something you’re looking for, or if a link doesn’t work, contact me and let me know what the problem is. I’ll try to fix it.
Question: Are you available for author events and interviews?


Yes! To check out my past media appearances and interviews, click on Press Kit. The presentations I offer to schools are listed on my Visits page. If you’re interested inviting me to your school, library, or bookstore, or if you’d like to set up an interview, contact me.
Confession: I really just stumbled upon your website when I was looking for cute cat pictures. Sorry!


No matter how you got here or how long you’ve been following along, I appreciate you being here. Thank you for supporting my creative endeavors, cheering my successes, and laughing at my antics. I hope you’ll stick around to see what comes next.
