About me

R.E.M. Verberg - fantasy author

I love to write dark worlds with little sparks of love and connection.

After being a writing coach and copywriter for over ten years, I’m now spreading my wings as a fantasy author. Currently, I run the podcast Far-Fetched Stories and am working on a duology called A Song Discordant.

If you’re into authors like Robin Hobb, Ursula Le Guin and N.K. Jemisin, you’ll probably like my work.

FRIENDS. Don't know how I would have done this mov FRIENDS. Don't know how I would have done this move without them.
.
I'm literally in my new 'bedroom' (second picture) right now while my friends are putting together the couch and my other friend is cleaning the wardrobe.
.
It is rare for me to behave so 'ill' around other people, and probably testament to how much I trust them. There is no universe in which I, as a chronically ill person, could have done this on my own. 
Everything is new and strange and difficult, but I still have love in my life and I'm so thankful for it. ❤️

I planted a seed...and from the seed, a story grew I planted a seed...and from the seed, a story grew 🌿
.
And I literally couldn't have done it without you, my listeners!
.
First monthly standalone story is published now: About owning your own power, and what happens if you don't. Written in collaboration with you❤️ Very proud of this one. It's the top link in my bio, enjoy!!
.
If you want to help decide which story I write next, the October poll will be up till next week. See https://remverberg.com or my latest poll post (the yellow one:)).
.
This story was quite emotional to write and I'm really happy to be able to share it with you.
