Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Hollywood-adjacent but pretty unbothered by it. Rejected from every poetry magazine since 1996.
Artist. Curator. Cookware enthusiast. Eternal interior design student. Advocate for Books and the people who write them, the people who make them, the people who read them. British crime dramas are my weakness.
