Hello and welcome to IsaGlade.com!

I am Isa Glade Day, an experienced writer, freelance editor, creative writing coach, acrylic painter and blogger within those themes, specifically providing advice and sharing the common experiences of writers and artists.

I was born and raised in Minnesota, where I taught high school English for 30 years, raised my three beautiful sons, and enjoyed a vibrant literary community. Currently, I live with my husband Bob Day in the mountains of western North Carolina where we do a lot of hiking for Bob’s Dayhike Photography. Our greatest achievement is the eternal search for spiritual growth and daily opportunities for laughter and love!

In 2024, I self-published my first novel Moonwaiting, available for exploration in the menu.

I also shared a 30-day blog event of artistic collaboration, entitled Lessons in the Goat – born of our van life during the build of our new minimalist home. Check it out on my March-April blogposts.

May your struggles bring growth and your joys be abundant!
Blessed be, Isa
