Welcome to Read and Write with Natasha, a space where stories come alive, writers grow, and honest conversations take center stage.
I’m Natasha Tynes — a Jordanian-American journalist, author, ghostwriter, and podcaster with over 25 years of experience in the media world. I’ve written for outlets like The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, and Elle, and I’ve ghostwritten books and newsletters for founders, media leaders, and everyday changemakers.
Here, I share:
Behind-the-scenes looks at the writing life — from pitching to publishing to monetizing your words
Author interviews that go deep into the craft, process, and publishing journey
Serialized fiction and memoir chapters — raw, real, and often inspired by my Arab heritage and diasporic experiences
Tips and tools for writers who want to grow their audience, get paid, and stay creatively fulfilled
Whether you’re a writer, a reader, or simply someone who loves a good story and thoughtful insights, this newsletter is for you.
Every post is rooted in my mission: to help writers thrive and tell their stories with purpose and power.
Join the community. Read, write, and connect with me every week.
Warmly,
Natasha
