Annie Cosby

Writer

Annie Cosby is the Marketing Manager at Freewrite, a former fiction editor, and the author of seven books — and counting. Her work deals with Celtic mythology and has twice won the YA Indie Author Project in Missouri.

For their dedicated writing station

Freewrite Smart Typewriter

Nothing says “this is my writing space” like a Freewrite Smart Typewriter perched on a desk. The typewriter-for-the-21st-century merges the nostalgic feeling of pressing down keys with the modern features of a frontlight and automatic cloud data storage. When inspiration strikes, your writer will be grateful they have a designated device for diving into their creative world.

Wooden Pen Tray

How many of us know a writer whose pens are housed in a should-be-discarded mug? Take their pen display to the next level with a solid walnut or maple pen tray from Studio Neat, available in our Desk Friends collection.

Author Clock

What if checking the time could be a literary experience? That’s what Author Clock aims to achieve. Every minute of the day, a literary quote that correlates with that exact time will pop up on the screen. You can’t go wrong with entertaining and informative.

For their adventures beyond the desk

Freewrite Traveler

Free-roaming writers don’t always want to lug around their laptop. For a lighter option that streamlines the drafting process, get them the Freewriter Traveler.

Traveler’s long battery life means your writer’s wordsmithing session won’t be cut short due to a plug-in ultimatum. Whether they’re at a coffee shop or lounging in a park, your scribe will be able to comfortably read their words on the 135-degree adjustable screen.

Pen Type-C

You know how difficult it is to find a pen out in the wild. The Pen Type-C from CW&T alleviates this issue by easily clipping onto whatever you have handy — whether that’s a notepad, book, or even your wallet.

For their current read

Perch Bookmark

Any reader knows that not all bookmarks are created equal. The flimsy paper ones can easily fall out, while the bulky novelty ones can actually bend your book (the horror!) For a sleek bookmark that oozes class, get your writer the Perch Bookmark from Craighill.

Cal Bookend

We’d wager that your writer has a love of print books. If there’s a book that really knocked their socks off, they probably want it in their physical library. To help that library look its best, get them Craighill's stunning Cal Bookends.

For those unfocused days

Freewrite Alpha Cosmic Edition

Every day, we’re bombarded with hundreds of distractions — many of them connected to the Internet. If you know a writer who often laments about not being able to focus on their work, gift them the Freewrite Alpha Cosmic Edition. Not only will they be freed from notifications on their screen, but when they do need a break, you can bet they’ll crack a smile as they admire the celestial theme of their new gadget.

Analog Starter Kit

Sometimes it’s best to go old school to prioritize your tasks and goals. Rather than give your writer a pack of sticky notes, though, offer them a more elevated option: the Ugmonk Analog Starter Kit.

Part of our Desk Friends collection, writers love the three categories of cards — Today, Next Day, Someday — to help bring focus to their work.

For notes and jotting things down

Kepler Pen

Some writers do their best work the old fashioned way: handwriting their content. For a fine writing instrument, you can’t go wrong with the Kepler Pen from Craighill, available in our Desk Friends collection. Clocking in at the perfect weight, choose gold, silver, or black to best accent your writer’s style.

Keepbook

Finally, what is a pen without paper? Surprise the writer in your life with the Studio Neat's Keepbook. This layflat design means your writer can type away with their sleek notebook staying open beside them. Blank, ruled, or with a dot grid, any analog lover will appreciate the thought that went into this present.

What Does the World Lose When a Language Dies?

Every 40 days, another one dies — becoming extinct forever.

By the year 2100, that will be 3,500 lost.

We’re not talking about a species of animal, or variety of plant. We’re talking about languages — the foundation of human communication as we know it.
