Meet our Founder

Hello, fellow bibliophiles! I’m Aubrey, the current voice behind A Novel Philosophy.

Since the day I could first string letters into words, I’ve been captivated by the written word. I love the power and emotion a single phrase can elicit, and don’t get me started on the incredible characters I’ve met along the way. There’s something so unique about watching a story unfold page after page.

I was often the new kid in school growing up, an unfortunate by-product of my father’s military career. While I had incredible opportunities to travel and see life in different locations and cultures, I struggled with loneliness and anxiety with each new move. Being the new kid sucks when you’re an introvert. Books quickly became my escape. For a few brief hours, I could let go of the stress of a new home and fall deep into one incredible world after another.

As I grew older, that love never faded. Reading time is a little harder to come by, but I still have those perfect moments when the world dissolves away as I descend into a new adventure. When I’m not reading, you’ll find me running (jogging slowly) around the neighborhood, spending time with loved ones, and cuddling with my beloved miniature dachshund.

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of stories to shape our minds and hearts, and I’m excited to share this journey with you.

Let the adventure begin!


Beneath Stars Uncharted

In her debut collection, Aubrey Cooke walks you through one of the darkest moments of her life. Following an unexpected season of change, Aubrey used poetry to express her thoughts as she struggled to find a way forward while she wrestled with fear, anxiety, and doubt. Beneath Stars Uncharted is a record of her journey from dark to light, from grief to healing.

This is a collection of poems for life’s darkest moments, when light and hope are difficult to find.
