I loved that Lisa Jewell interview. How amazing were her stories! I loved the story about the clown mask in the drawer! Very inspiring.

Thanks for your thoughts and sharing of the Meta story. I’m thinking we could include a “bookmark rebellion” to inform readers of this kind of thing!

At the very least get our publishers to put our Substack on new business cards and bookmarks etc, as part of a slow transition away?

Absolutely! Great minds Emma, I've made my own bookmarks this time with my substack QR codes on - and I love the idea of utilising the bookmark rebellion for our own purposes - we need to chat about this more, let's keep talking!

Thanks for all this. Your link to The Atlantic article's search tool was the only one that has 'worked' for me. None of my writing or books seem to be listed - for once I'm grateful for my obscurity!

I knew you would love that - and did you see Lisa Jewell possibly coming to Australia in March 2026... I have begged for a Perth event!

That is SUPER exciting. Fingers crossed. I interviewed her for Writes4Women and would LOVE to meet her and listen to her in person. x
