Creative Non-Fiction
Look, everyone has a story, but not everyone knows how to tell it in a way that actually hits home. That’s where creative non-fiction comes in. It’s about taking the raw facts of your life and using the tools of a novelist to build a personal narrative that breathes. We’re getting into the "how" of it all, from finding your unique voice to learning how to write a personal narrative that connects with total strangers. It’s not just about what happened; it’s about what it meant. Let’s get those words on the page.
Fiction Story
Whether you’re writing a fiction story or a piece of creative non-fiction, the heart of the work is always the personal narrative. It’s about finding the universal truth in a specific experience. We’re breaking down how to take your memories and your imagination and turn them into something people actually want to read.

Whether we're discussing the legends or the new voices on the scene, we're celebrating the stories that make us feel a little less alone in the world.

Hormonal health is one of the most underaddressed areas of wellness — and one of the most impactful. Changes in energy, mood, body composition, sleep, and libido are often dismissed as inevitable, when in many cases they're directly connected to hormonal imbalances that can be assessed, understood, and treated. Jova Medical Clinic in London, Ontario takes that conversation seriously. Between the Covers Magazine subscribers receive a free 15-minute online consultation with Dr. Alisha Smith, Jova Medical's hormone health specialist. The consultation is conducted virtually, making it accessible to patients across Ontario regardless of location. It's a no-commitment opportunity to speak directly with a qualified medical professional about your hormonal health, ask the questions you haven't known where to take, and understand what options may be available to you. Dr. Smith's focus includes bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), as well as hormonal injections such as Sermorelin and Tesamorelin — treatments that address growth hormone deficiency, support metabolic function, and are increasingly sought by patients looking to manage the effects of hormonal decline proactively and under medical supervision. The consultation is designed to be informative rather than prescriptive — a starting point. Whether you're already exploring BHRT and want a second perspective, or you're earlier in the process and simply want to understand what hormonal therapy involves from a practitioner who specialises in it, this is a worthwhile first step. Jova Medical operates at 1067 Valetta Street in London, Ontario, with in-clinic services available alongside virtual care options like this one. For hormone therapy consultations in Ontario, BHRT options in southwestern Ontario, or simply a physician who approaches hormonal health with the seriousness it deserves, this subscriber perk is worth using. Subscribe to Between the Covers Magazine to book your complimentary consultation with Dr. Alisha Smith.
