Welcome to MadeMark Media
MadeMark Media is the creative home for everything I make, share, and put out into the world. It’s where my books live—mysteries, fiction, nonfiction, and other authors’ works published by MadeMark Publishing—alongside the many digital projects and platforms that keep my curiosity busy and my coffee strong. Under the MadeMark umbrella you’ll find my author website, Mark McNease on Topic Substack, original blogs and newsletters, and The Twist Podcast (now on YouTube), where conversation, culture, and a dash of irreverence are always waiting.
MadeMark is also the publisher behind LGBTSr, a vibrant lifestyle and culture site for LGBTQ+ adults, and Your Write Path, a resource created to encourage writers, journalers, and creators at every stage of their journey. Whether it’s storytelling, travel writing, humor, interviews, workshops, or thoughtful commentary on life and creativity, MadeMark Publishing is about connection, curiosity, and telling good stories in many different forms. If it’s written, spoken, recorded, or shared with intention, chances are it started here.
Your Write Path offers welcoming writing workshops and creative resources designed to help writers of all levels find their voice, build confidence, and enjoy the writing process. Through guided prompts, supportive discussion, and practical tools, we help you move your writing forward—one step at a time.
