Hello World. 

Who I am:

My name is Brooke Younger. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. In 2021, I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Sociology. Shortly after graduation, I moved to a new city and began working towards my aspirations of writing. In February of 2022, I made the big leap into full-time freelance writing, and I never looked back! Since then, I've grown and learned so much from the people and publishers I've had the honor to work with. In October 2024, I officially became an editor for House Digest. This is my professional website and blog dedicated to showcasing my content and sharing my journey!

​

Of course, I'm also much more than the sum of my successes. I appreciate that my career gives me the flexibility to enjoy other things I love like cooking, camping, making art, and spending time with my cats. I'm also a bit of a gym rat. When I'm not at my desk, you'll probably find me pumping iron, downward dog-ing, or spinning upside down on a big lyra hoop.  

​

Why I Write: 

I have always been a fool for language. By age eleven, I was breezing through Shakespeare -- one of my great loves still today. In high school, I began writing poetry. In college, I craved research essays. My favorite course was English syntax -- which is, essentially, algebra with words. Today, I still get butterflies when I'm writing or editing a really great piece. When I tell you I love language, I mean I love its sounds, its structures, its rules, its flaws, its culture, its history, and its limitless possibilities.  

​

What I write about: 

In my time as a freelance writer, I've written about plum near everything you could think of. My friends often tease me for interjecting conversations with "Hey, I wrote an article about that!" I am always working to diversify and expand my field of knowledge. Lately, I've settled into a niche writing interior design, home improvement, luxury food, travel, and lifestyle pieces.

 ​

Why I'm here: 

My nickname and website domain name was originally coined by a fellow creative friend in high school. For me, it has come to symbolize the joy in small moments and the celebration of our human drive to understand, create, and connect with one another.

 

Create something! Even if it is small, it is amazing. It is worth sharing.

A drop in the ocean. A pen in the page stack. A Brooke in the meadow.
