Welcome to our community of readers and writers who believe in the life-changing power of stories!
Hi! I’m Evelyn Skye, NYT bestselling author, #1 Netflix film/literary collaborator, sugar fiend, and incorrigible optimist. My mission in life is to bring more smiles to the world, which is why I write novels about hope and love in all its forms—romantic, familial, and friendship. (You can buy my books anywhere books are sold.)
If you’re here, it means that you, too, believe in the life-changing power of reading and storytelling. I’m so happy you’re part of our community!

When I’m not working on my novels, my favorite thing is going to bookstores and book festivals and talking about writing and books with other bookworms.

WORDPLAY Book Club for Writers and Curious Readers
a monthly, super casual online book club where we discuss books from a writer’s perspective
for Writers who love reading and want to examine stories more closely, and
for Readers who are curious about why they feel the way they do about a book
First 30-45 minutes: Book discussion—What makes this book tick? We’ll talk about things like whether the plot worked and if not, why not? Where was the pacing great and where did the tension dip, and why? And why do some people love Character A but others hate him, while Character B is universally adored?
Bonus time: After the book discussion, we’ll have an optional 30-minute hang out to share what we’re working on, ask each other for advice on writer’s block or finding a literary agent or doing book publicity, etc.
