ABOUT

GRACE SMITH

I’m a writer and creative strategist who kicked off

my career with the book blog I launched in the 7th

grade—and still run 15+ years later.


Drawing from a deep well of research, my specialty

is differentiating tones, and engineering narrative
to strategically package and scale content.
I love to pick apart the sensory and linguistic nuances
creating multi-dimensional atmosphere (and reader immersion),
so I’m especially weak for any project centered around
a "strong sense of place." As an insatiable learner,
I pick up new topics, skills, and technologies rapidly.


When not reading, writing, or making art, I’m probably
on a plane, disappearing into nature, or beelining
to the closest dance studio. I’m a hobbyist at heart.


PS. You might find some good reads and psych studies
hidden around the site. You can take the girl out of
the book blog, but—

Drawing from a deep well of research, my specialty is differentiating tones, and engineering narrative to strategically package and scale content. I pick up hard skills and new technologies quickly.

I’m especially weak for any project related to books, psychology, nature, or “a strong sense of place.”
