Holly Rhiannon, a lifelong writer from Winnipeg, Manitoba, grew up creating indoors to escape extreme cold. During her years there, she became a certified photographer, studied Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba, organized a successful alternative art event, and self-published one novella and two graphic novels.

Like many artists from Winnipeg, Holly later moved away, relocating to Montreal in 2015, where she revitalized her creative brand, especially in literature. Today, Holly is the founder and CEO of small press The Stygian Society, and supports her fellow writers through her YouTube channel and Discord.

Her novel, A Time When Demons, was published in 2022, and her poetry appears in The Stygian Collection. Holly also contributes to The Stygian Zine. In 2024, she stepped down as Montreal Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo due to their stance on generative AI and launched her own challenge 'The Order of the Written Word'.

Hey friends! Just a heads up that if you were waiting on today's video, it will be out this weekend instead as that's the mid-point for the Spring Conclave. See you then!

Good afternoon friends! Alas, today's sprinting must be canceled. While I got a bunch of sleep, I'm still trying to give my hands a bit more rest, icing and elevation. The good news is I do not think there has been a sprain, just some light wounds/bruising. I will be back to write again as soon as I am able! In the meantime, I encourage you all to head over to the Discord server and get some writing done together. ❤️

Hello friends! I want to give a warning early on that I may not be able to run sprints tomorrow. :(
I had a bad fall on the ice and may have sprained something in one of my hands. Needless to say, not fun and not easy to type. I'm going to have to see what a night of sleep does but will announce tomorrow whether sprints will happen or not.
Thank you for your understanding!

Hello friends! Just a heads up that sprints on the 22nd will *not* be happening, as I've got a photoshoot that day.
The next sprints I host will be on Discord on February 28th, and I will be live again here on March 8th.
Lives are already scheduled in the 'Live' tab if you would like to sign up to be notified. :)
Thank you!
