Hey there! 
I'm Deidre Braley

I'm a poet & essayist, speaker & podcaster, and a freelance writer & editor. I like words, can you tell?

I like to speak & write true words that resonate with real people — you know, the ones who sneak their kids' french fries and have messy cars and wonder if their lives actually matter. 

And if you're a writer, small business, or church, I can help you do the same: You cast the vision for your words, and I'll help you catch the right ones.

The Second Cup is all about gracious storytelling. Words matter. So let's elevate them.
