Sonya Cheney is an aspiring crone living in rural New Hampshire. She studied writing and literature as an undergraduate at Keene State College, and in the decade since has had her work published in online magazines as well as self publishing dozens of zines and online essays. She is a stay-at-home mother of one human child, a Basset hound, and a small flock of chickens.

Her writing has most recently appeared in Sad Girl Diaries and The Goldfinch Collective.

You can find zines and digital writing resources, like the Story Magic Workbook, in the shop.

Who is Sonya?

A word witch…

She believes in the alchemical magic of writing, turning words into spells and affecting change, whether that’s within one person or many. She’s written in numerous capacities for over a decade, from angsty teenage journal entries to confessional personal zines to independent online magazines and more. Writing—and reading—are her biggest loves, and she is always delighted to share with others and to help them on their own journeys.

And a weirdo.

She loves all things strange and unusual: witchcraft, cryptids, paranormal, horror, and true crime. These subjects often appear in her writing projects, and when she’s not spending her time reading or writing, she’s binge watching horror movies and podcasts.
