Confessions & Coffee is your weekly coffee break with me. I’m so happy you’re here.

If you’re new here, my name is Alice Kuipers and I’m a best-selling writer, mother and dog-owner who moved twenty years ago to the Canadian prairies from England. My newsletter is the best writing I can share, and I offer it weekly.

In Confessions & Coffee, the focus is books, writing, words, and you.

Popular posts include:

Little Life Lists, like this one

Short Death Stories, like this

And access to The Life-Changing Book Club

All rooted in beautiful words from writers I adore, and my growing, warm community on here.

This publication is my gift to you because, like you, I love words and I look to language to find solace.

Reader or writer (maybe both), I love that you’re here.

A little more about me: I’ve published fourteen books in 36 countries and my writing has been described as: “For storytellers and story lovers,” by Kirkus Reviews; ‘Gorgeous, heart-ripping, important,” by VOYA; and “Intense and wonderful” by Bif Naked. Join me for coffee breaks to look at lines from great writers. I’m Head of Coaching at The Novelry, where I help anyone who has dreamed of writing.

For a discounted annual subscription of $30—less than one fancy coffee a month—you support independent writing.

I did have a paywall, but inspired by

currently everything on here is free. Despite that, I have a growing group of paid subscribers and your support of independent writing fuels better essays, better book suggestions for you, and more of my time to answer your questions and connect with you—along with my deep thanks for being part of the journey.

Why subscribe?

Confessions & Coffee is our time to hang out over coffee, and talk about Life-Changing books, share Little Life Lists, Short Death Stories and Simple Things.
