Hello friends, I'm Mynah. I was born in Canada, but my family is from Portugal, where I currently live. For me, writing is never just words on a page. It’s the weight and feel of a fountain pen, the texture and quality of paper, the conscious act of choosing the right ink. Professionally, I write educational email courses for stationery brands and journaling system creators. I help brands and creators educate their following about their craftsmanship, philosophy, and story so that their customers not only buy products but feel inspired to step into a more intentional way of living through writing and journaling. In a world overpowered by typed words and glowing screens, we’ve forgotten how to tailor our writing experience to what inspires us and brings back magic into our lives. Journaling is a powerful way to reconnect us to meaning, memories, and intentions, as well as helping us stay organized and focused. Before becoming serious about my writing, I was a singer and musician. To me, there's little difference between the written word and the spoken or sung one. Having learned about tone through my voice makes it easier for me to shape tone in writing.

I'm also an amateur bookbinder. Creating notebooks and rebinding books allows me to take part in the full lifecycle of writing — from loose sheets of paper to finished stories. If you'd like to contact me, you can reach out to me through Instagram at @mynah.writes
