Who is behind Scarlett Letters?

Whether or not you have read the introductory letter does not matter for this page. Your pen pal on this site is C. Scarlett, an author in their early twenties with a passion for writing what they want for anyone who indulges in or has yet to explore literature. They have not yet been published but are working on a novel as you read this. Scarlett writes poetry, short stories, and novels, all in different genres; their favorite genre to write being YA fiction or fantasy with characters from countless backgrounds.

They are not an author to shy away from showing vastly different aspects of what it is to be a human being. Having been diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression from a young age, Scarlett strives to show that mental illness is not something to fear or look down upon. The same goes for looks, race, gender, sexuality, identity as a whole, and disabilities; all those make up each person and are not something to ridicule one for. In their eyes, if no one is harmed by the actions of a person, there is no point in venomous words finding their way to someone.

Scarlett is a person who opposes the hatred that is so easy to come by, especially in the digital world. They believe that kindness is the best option, for spreading vicious words and actions only fuels the fire of malice in the world. Growing up in a less accepting environment they have experienced hate-filled words for who they are, a young, non-binary, and queer author; yet, they will not return the hatred for, in their eyes, that does nothing good for the world.

This blog is a chance for them to spread their works to others and potentially get more people to fall in love with literature again, no matter one’s past experiences. Literature is for everyone and should, therefore, include everyone, and that is Scarlett’s goal. Story-telling has been a part of the human race for centuries and no matter how a person looks, they should be able to connect with this part of humanity.

Now, if any of this has been intriguing to you or something you would like to be a part of, Scarlett invites you to receive their letters.

What Are The Scarlett Letters?

This blog is actually part of Scarlett’s college course. They decided to make it different from your usual blog, something more intimate; hence the letters. Each letter will be a different experience and contain varying inclusions.

These inclusions can range from photos and videos to writing, whether poetry, short stories, or excerpts from a novel—one that Scarlett is writing or from another author that they want to share with you.

There is also no upload schedule for letters because, just like in the real world, you never know for certain when a letter will arrive. Scarlett, as everyone has a life that can be thrown off kilter by forces outside of their control and that can affect the arrival of a new letter. They do hope to have at least one letter a month arrive to you all, sometimes there might be more than one and the length of each will vary as well.
