Wonderful news all round, Wendy - congratulations!

Do we subscribers to From The Margins sit tight and wait further instructions? I couldn't see how to sign up without paying via Eventbrite. :-)

Hi Jay, yes, as a subscriber you don't need to do anything at all, everything will come to you - links notes etc - in paywalled subscriber only posts. It's going to be good fun I think.

Wendy, a good read and the May course sounds very interesting but we are probably undertaking some long delayed travelling. I look forward to acquiring a copy of The Ghost Lake. Richard

I should have said, other than am getting a sense of from this newsletter. I really appreciated the piece about running a rural literary journal. I'm one of those folks who moved to the countryside, and have been conscious of trying to not do the kind of writing you mention sometimes follows that.

Thanks so much for this feedback. It's tricky isn't it, because of course whenever we experience change we want to explore and compare. I wish you luck with your writing x
