Where Good Ideas (and Good Vibes) Get Down. 🕺🏼

A group of people celebrating around a table with desserts and drinks, with one woman feeding a man a piece of cake in a cozy, decorated room.

We make getting organized—and getting back into your groove—feel like a good time. ✨

Cozy Writing Co. was born from one part nostalgia, one part creative chaos, and one part notebook-hoarding obsession.

Since 2021, we’ve helped thousands of writers, makers, and cozy souls get organized—without losing their spark (or their sense of humor).

Whether you’re drafting your first novel, curating the ultimate game night, or trying to make your days feel more like you, you're in the right place.

You’re creative. You’re curious. You’re tired of boring planners and one-size-fits-all life hacks. Well, guess what, friend? You’ve found your people. 🛼

What We’re All About

🛼 Creativity, but Chill
Perfection is overrated. We’re here for brainstorms in fuzzy socks, lists made in half-finished notebooks, and ideas that come alive when the vibe is just right.

💾 Tools That Match Your Vibe
Digital or analog, retro-ish or modern—our templates and trackers are made to fit you. From story plotting to game logging to slow-day planning, we keep it flexible, fun, and full of personality.

🎲 Fun, Not Fussy
We believe your tools should match your personality: a little funky, a little nerdy, totally delightful. Whether you’re writing, creating, or just trying to organize the chaos, we keep things playful—not precious. Productivity should feel like a party, not a pop quiz.

🎨 For the Creatively Inclined (and Chronically Overthinking)
Neurospicy, nonlinear, notebook-obsessed—however your brain works, it’s brilliant. We’re just here to help you shape your ideas (and your days) with tools that actually make sense for you.

✨ You In?
Because together, we’re making magic—one color-coded, tabbed-to-perfection PDF at a time.

Hey, I’m Carly—the creative mind behind Cozy Writing Co., and your unofficial sidekick in bringing structure to the spark (without killing the fun).

This biz started as my creative comeback. After cancer knocked me on my ass, I needed a way to feel like myself again—playful, curious, creative AF. So I built the thing I needed most: a cozy corner of the internet where messy brains and wild ideas are not just welcome, but celebrated.

🛼 My (Not So Linear) Path Here?

I’ve got a Ph.D. in how people learn and communicate (yes, really). I used to be a researcher and professor in games-based learning—aka how video games teach us problem-solving, collaboration, and creative flow.

I even wrote a book called Teach Like a Gamer—because I believe creativity isn’t just something you have... it’s something you practice, just like gameplay.

Add in a few stints in the corporate world, a life-long obsession with writing and storytelling, and an undying love for color-coded chaos—and voilà: Cozy Writing Co. was born.

✨ What I Do Now

I make retro-inspired printable tools that help you turn creative chaos into clarity—without losing the vibe.

Think of my “Vibebooks” and toolkits as part planner, part pep talk, and 100% you-shaped. Whether you're:

  • Plotting a novel

  • Planning a game night

  • Organizing your brain so it actually makes sense to you

…I’ve got a template for that.

Creativity doesn’t need rules.
It needs rhythm.
And maybe a good playlist.

A Few Things I Believe:

Your ideas are valid, even if they’re messy

Productivity should feel like play

Games are legit teachers (and damn good metaphors)

Fonts matter. Color-coding is self-care.

So if you’ve ever felt like a creative misfit…

If you’ve ever wished your planner matched your personality…

If you’ve ever needed permission to just make stuff for the joy of it…

Welcome. You’re my people.

So, yeah. We’re kinda like your creative, cozy lifestyle sidekick, if your sidekick wore legwarmers, had color-coded tabs, and totally got your brain.
