Greetings, fellow bookworms!

“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure…” — Gandalf the Grey


My name is Thomas Salerno—author, essayist, podcaster, storyteller. Welcome to Pageturning—an author newsletter where I share my musings about books, writing, and the creative life.

I’m passionate about storytelling and the power of the written word to educate, entertain, and inspire readers of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you want to discover new stories or are looking for encouragement in your own writing journey, I hope that there’s something here for you!

Every month I release The Pageturning Report: a general round-up of my latest writing and podcasting adventures, and special behind-the-scenes info about my latest works-in-progress. Stay tuned for special bonus posts filled with advice, inspiration, and nerdy bookishness to help you become the best writer you can be.

You can also listen to my podcast, Thomas Salerno’s Perilous Realms, for book reviews and in-depth interviews with sci-fi/fantasy writers.

I’ve also set up a paid tier for those who wish to financially support my work and gain access to my full archive of posts.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure!
