Chelsey, who currently lives in France, considers herself an “accidental expat.” We were first introduced in cyberspace, where we’re both members of London Writers Salon, a worldwide writing community.
Chelsey publishes The French Dispatch, a microblog featuring prose poems, micro-essays and more. She’s also a tarot-informed creativity coach, offering creative workshops and prompts for writers.
Her new book, The Tarot Spreads Yearbook, will be published in April 2023 and is now available for pre-order.
In this month’s micro interview, Chelsey shares her dream vacation and gives us a peek at the kids.
Welcome to the mashup’s micro-interview! Answers can be any length, but the total word count—including my 8 questions—can’t exceed 100 words.

Tell us about your creative workshops
I use tarot cards to help writers, artists, and creative business-owners generate ideas & get unblocked. Depending on the workshop, we may brainstorm about story arcs, develop tarot-inspired poems, or get in touch with themes that inspire us.
