I hope your 2014 is off to a good start.

I’m marking the New Year with the launch of a website, Something Rhymed. It is about famous female writing friendships, and it is a joint venture with my own close writer friend, Emily Midorikawa.

Each month, we’ll be profiling a different pair of famous writer friends and challenging ourselves to complete an activity based on a prominent feature of their relationship.

We’ll be posting regular updates on our progress, and we’d love for you to get involved by letting us know of any literary pals we could profile. Or you might like to make it your New Year’s resolution to complete the activities alongside us. You can find out about the first challenge here.

We look forward to sharing our friendships online in the coming months.
