A guide for the next generation of writers-self-care rituals, creativity-generating rhythms, and personalized strategies for embracing a creative life.
Wild Words is an invitation to explore the intersection of your writing practice with everything else in your busy life. Through personal stories and practical lessons you'll learn how to enter a new relationship with your creativity, one that honors where you've been, where you're headed, and where you are today. Discover methods to support a sustainable writing practice, clarifying and nourishing routines, an understanding of your own creative history, and guidance on how to make small but powerful mind-set shifts (such as how to see a career as a partner rather than an obstacle). Above all, Wild Words encourages you to approach creativity through a seasonal lens and helps you untangle the messy process of embracing your circumstances, trusting your voice, and making time to put pen to paper, season after season.

Born and raised in Southern California, she lives outside Raleigh, North Carolina with her husband and son. Connect with her online at thewildwords.com.

"In a sea of books on writing that mercilessly urge aspiring
authors to live, breathe, and bleed their craft—often at the
expense of their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing—Wild
Words is a breath of fresh air. Divided into 10 digestible chapters
that break the writer’s journey into seasons, this gentle guidebook
has advice for every stage of your writing career. Offering
manageable exercises that fit comfortably into a busy schedule,
Gulotta makes the seemingly impossible task of carving out time to
be creative actually possible. For all my fellow writers out there,
this one is for you.”—Alexandra Fournier,
[EDIT] magazine
"Wild Words does the near impossible: equips the doubting,
frenzied mind with the rhythms and tools it needs to drop down into
the body of the writer and, finally, surrender to write. Every
season, ritual, and routine feels like a deep breath into
creativity.”—Lily Diamond, Author of Kale & Caramel
"With her beautiful prose and practical, meet-you-where-you-are,
organic routines, Nicole Gulotta sheds light on how to cultivate a
lifelong relationship with creativity—one that reframes the work
from a stressful, frenzied task to a joyful, fulfilling, and
sustainable practice. Wild Words is a true gift to anyone
who has ever wondered how to find and share their unique
voice."—Stef Ferrari, co-author of A Woman’s Place
"If you’ve ever said ‘I don’t have time to write,’ this book will
prove you wrong. Wild Words is a must-read. Gulotta’s personal
story is both compelling and inspiring; her exercises make it easy
for anyone to apply these lessons to whatever season of life you’re
in with your writing career.”—Jeff Goins, bestselling author of You
Are a Writer (So Start Acting Like One)
