hey there!

I’m Nicole, a freelance writer, editor, and content specialist focused in the outdoors and travel industries.

Additionally, I’m a poet and memoirist, passionately documenting my memories, adventures, and interactions with the environment. My debut poetry collection, brackish, was published by Finishing Line Press, and I’m currently working on polishing my second and third manuscripts: hybrid collections of poetry and creative nonfiction.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me slinging mud in my studio, off on an adventure with my dog, Lyla, or curled up sketching the landscapes I’ve fallen in love with. I’m a functional ceramic artist and photographer, making and selling work from my home studio, and designing apparel on the side. You can browse and shop my artwork over at UNEARTHED ARTWORKS, and you can find me at @nicolee.bethune on most social media platforms. You can also view my Media Kit here.
