Welcome to Author’s Notes
And thank you for stopping by!
For such solitary practices, reading and writing make wonderful things to commune around.
When I read, I want to see the things that I am going through reflected back at me. Dealing with difficult family dynamics? I will pick up a Maggie O’Farrell novel. Struggling to exist between cultures? I will reach for something by Ocean Vuong.
I am also compelled to write within spitting distance of reality, which keeps me in a cycle of inquiry. When I step back to write, I analyze life. When I return to life, I analyze writing. I suspect that this obsessiveness makes me a frustrating person to love. But it gives me insight, too.
So, if you are interested in writing – mine, or the craft of it more generally – then Author’s Notes is the publication for you.
With a free subscription, you’ll get monthly articles about writing straight to your inbox.
For £5 per month or just £50 per year, you’ll receive early-access chapters and behind-the-book insights to my new releases, as well as monthly articles about writing. You will also be able to comment and join these discussions on Substack.
If you become a founding member for £150 per year, you’ll get all the benefits of a paid subscription - and be among the first to receive signed copies of any new books that I have coming out.
However you choose to support Author’s Notes, thank you. I will endeavor to do this peculiar thing that I love to the best of my ability, for you.
And please do reach out! Read, write, confess and compare. Let’s talk about writing, in our breaks from writing. Because what else, really, does any writer want to do?
I look forward to talking all things writing with you.
