Star of the Week - Dewy

At Organic Business Network, we celebrate creators who challenge the mold, elevate authenticity, and redefine success on their own terms. This week, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on someone doing all of the above—and then some. Meet Dewy, an independent author, visionary thinker, and the fearless force behind the genre-blurring debut Title Goes Here: Adventures in Foolishness.

Based in New York City, Dewy is more than just a writer—she’s a one-woman creative business. From publishing under her own imprint (Madwoman) to maintaining a thought-provoking blog, producing digital content, and launching unique community events, she is building something rare: a fully self-directed creative life.

Her book, Title Goes Here, is a testament to that independent spirit. It blends poetry, short fiction, and original “spells”—yes, spells—into one beautifully strange and undeniably bold volume. Rather than polish her work to fit market trends, Dewy leans all the way into what she calls “foolishness”—her philosophy of embracing instinct, vulnerability, and unfiltered creative voice. The result is something fresh, daring, and impossible to categorize.

In fact, when the book launched earlier this year, it made a quiet but unforgettable impression for one striking reason: it had no cover design. No graphics. Just a blank front that invited readers to open it without bias. What could have been seen as an oversight turned out to be a brilliant piece of marketing that sparked curiosity and reflected the book’s deeper message—freedom from expectation.

Originally from West Texas and now thriving in NYC, Dewy’s path hasn’t been linear. Before writing full-time, she worked in law, where her creative outlets were limited by professional constraints. Eventually, she reached a turning point. “I started writing under my chosen name and felt like I could breathe again,” she shared with us. That breath turned into a blog. That blog became a book. And that book? It’s become a calling card for a whole new wave of creative freedom.

What sets Dewy apart isn’t just the content she creates—it’s the ecosystem she’s building around her art. She maintains a weekly blog to stay creatively agile, develops community programming to foster connection, and consistently reinvests in her craft—not waiting for permission or external validation. Her recent dive into visual media, including a new pilot for Nonya, Bietz & Waxxe LLP, shows that Dewy is expanding her portfolio and reaching new audiences in her own quirky, authentic way.

Her approach to success is as refreshing as her work: “If I’m proud of what I’ve made, that’s enough. Anything else is a bonus.” It’s a mindset that resonates strongly with the values of our Organic Business Network—where purpose, passion, and personal integrity matter more than flashy metrics.

Dewy’s work reminds us that business can be soulful, that storytelling can be a radical act, and that sometimes, the most foolish ideas are the ones that spark the most transformation.

Congratulations to Dewy, our Star of the Week! You can support her work by picking up Title Goes Here: Adventures in Foolishness at your favorite bookstore or online using ISBN: 9798988131854. And don’t forget to check out her blog at dewy.nyc to follow her ongoing journey.
