I love being a member of both Anna's White Ink community and yours at The London Lit Lab. You've run some amazing courses and I've attending some of the shorter ones on pitching and nature writing. I'd love to be interviewed if you'll have me - published later in life at 61, but with plenty more books in the tank. I write here from RIPE 🍑 - unapologetic ageing, trauma badassery, gardening as witchcraft, van life joyrides and more.

I agree with Sue and love being part of Anna's 'White Ink', Lily's 'And a Dog' and here too in the 'Writing Laboratory' - Each one gives so much, and the courses are incredible! It's a joy to be in Anna's Summer Bootcamp, and to be writing the start of my memoir as we move through it, while Anna is writing too. I'm resisting (almost) adding more books to my TBR but I want all the books Anna mentions here, plus Anna's book when it's published.

Really interesting and I've ordered books from the library on the strength of her recommendations. I'd just like to endorse her comments about I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and recommend The Snake Pit by Mary Jane Ward, which was made into a film. Published over 75 years ago,but still relevant.

Anna's Substack is amazing as is her community. I'm yet to read her books but I'm glad I'm a paid subscriber of her Sub.
