About this listen

Angelica was a writer at heart—an author, poet, and podcaster whose words captivated thousands. But like so many artists, her passion didn’t pay the bills. By day, she worked as a development coordinator at an arts nonprofit, where her creativity was constantly stifled by a red-pen–wielding boss who turned elegant prose into clumsy clichés.

When a last-minute donor letter and a flood of humiliating edits push her to the breaking point, Angelica makes a bold decision to walk away—without notice, without a plan. What happens next feels almost too good to be true: a dream job offer, the chance to publish a book, and an unexpected twist that ties her fate back to the very donor who drove her over the edge.

🎙️ Tune in to The Red Pen for a tale of art, survival, and the strange ways the universe sometimes rewrites our stories.
