Notes on life, work, and creativity from an ex-journalist and copywriter
I write about inspiring ideas, ways to live well, and how to feel financially secure for people with curious minds like me. Because getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop getting wiser.
Hi, I’m Adam Kay.
In 2024, I nearly died due to complications from Crohn’s disease. A follow-up operation in 2025 failed and left me in intensive care. Those experiences changed me, but deep down I’m the same as I was before: feeling like I still haven’t got things figured out yet, but trying my best to learn.
Through my writing, I share things I’ve found useful or interesting in the hope they’ll make you smile or leave you with some food for thought – maybe even both at the same time. Find out a little more about me and my work here.

Published work
Writing has been my day job since 2012, whether in publishing, marketing, or some combination of the two. You’ll find a selection of the website and book projects I’ve worked on at the links below.
