I’m Heidi Reimer. I’m a novelist, essayist & creative writing coach.
I strive to write smart, propulsive stories with complicated characters and deep exploration of the female experience. My debut novel, The Mother Act, is coming from Penguin Random House in April 2024.

Expect authenticity, honest grappling with the creative process, and insight (and angst) moving from process to product on the road to publication. I also explore artistic identity, visibility, and intentionality, with some deep dives into mother-daughter relationships, maternal ambivalence, and feminist awakening. But in a fun way!
My letters land every 2 weeks on the full and new moon…because why not harness a little cyclical celestial alignment?
The Mother Act
The Mother Act is a bold debut novel about an actress who refuses to abandon her art and the daughter she abandons instead.
This compelling exploration of motherhood, gender roles, theatre, and identity is coming April 2024 from Dutton and Random House Canada. Cover reveal imminent!
