how do you find your way?

Here is where you and your writing are. Where do you want to be? Converting smudged treasure maps, knee-deep mud, leeches, an abundance of nut bars, and mind-numbing whining into a work of art requires curiosity and the development of wayfinding muscles. The Curious Writer’s purpose is to help you find your path to what you want.

where can you go from here?

Find practical help via the wayfinder, get an overview of the website’s content, read my fervently gung-ho philosophy about writing, browse my writing about the places I go, or visit the shop for tools, writer’s shepherd services, and book recommendations.

whose website is this?

Ours, I hope. My name is Grace Kerina and I’d like to know about your writing challenges and successes, so please feel free to send me an email.

who is grace kerina?

Though I look a bit like I’ve just hidden your birthday present (in a place neither of us will ever find again), I’m friendly (quietly), nerdy (obviously), observant (profitably), and I like you already.

what can i do for you?

For many years I’ve helped writers write more like themselves from start to finish, through my work with clients, colleagues, and pals. I show writers ways of owning their process and making it work for them. As they find their own way, their confidence grows, their craft improves … and more becomes possible.

I’ve wandered (I’ve lived in more than 80 places) and written (that’s me, age two) all my life. I write to explore what I’m curious about, to discover what I already know, to encourage people, and to connect. The Curious Writer is my way to find you and to keep learning.

My writing has been published in various formats, including print and online.

My first website was Highly Sensitive Power. Two years of content on the topic of empowering sensitivity and creativity is still available there.

If the spelling on this website looks wonky to you, it might be because I write the Canadian way (yes, we actually do things differently in Canada).

Unless otherwise noted, photos were taken by me or are from my family‘s archives.

“Grace’s writing pops into my inbox and sparkles into my day. Her energy fills me with wonder, delight, and possibility. It’s like having a playdate.”
