The AUTHOR
Chris Mekvold
I'm Chris Mekvold, a fantasy writer building a small press one book at a time. I care as much about how a book feels in the hand as how it reads, so at Keepwrite I do two jobs at once: write the story and design the book around it, from the cover to the typesetting, whether it lands in print or on a screen. Along the way, I've made the planning tools I needed for my own drafts, and I'm putting them out for other writers under the "Decide What to Keep" series.
This is the home of that whole effort, shared as I go.
From one storyteller to another.
The Press so Far

Three genre workbooks, Fantasy, Romantasy, and Romance, each also available as a fillable digital edition. The fourth is on the press.

Free to Start
A Writer's Guide to Genre, yours with the Notes from the Inkwell letter, nine genres and how to tell which one your story actually is.

where this press is going
More genres, a prompt deck for the days the draft is at a standstill, and eventually the novels this press was built to publish.
