Behind the Scenes
on book deals, boyfriends, and other things occupying my time
Somehow, I haven’t shared a Behind the Scenes since November 2024, which was right when my divorce finalized. Behind the Scenes is a series for paid subscribers to peek behind the curtain of my personal life. In the post below, I share an update about my memoir (finally!), about how I’m feeling about my new relationship five months in, my summer travel, what I’m reading, watching, and listening to, and a one sentence synopsis of my current sex life.
Reminder that paid subscriptions mean so much to me as a writer. Substack is growing as a platform which also means that competition for paid subscriptions is increasingly competitive. My paid subscriptions have dropped even as my free subscriptions continue to grow. While I’m so grateful for every reader who subscribes or shares my work, this is also part of my paid work, and every paid sub helps.
I’m offering a summer discount for paid subscriptions for one week only in celebration of school almost being back in session. And a reminder that annual subscribers get a chance to set up a 30-minute ask-me-anything zoom as a perk of being an annual subscriber.
The book update:
I first went out on submission for my memoir, Ghost: A Memoir of Hiding, Haunting and Healing in May of 2023. That’s right. THREE YEARS AGO. (I shared an excerpt of the work in progress here and here).
