Why pay to subscribe?

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. Monthly installments are only visible to paid subscribers. Now and then I’ll throw in a bonus post without a paywall and those will go directly to your inbox, as well.

When paid subscribers write to me, I always write back.

Are you a writer or aspiring writer?

Each monthly installment contains writing prompts, writing tips, and a glimpse into the inner workings of the travel writing life.

Are you a traveler?

You’ll get travel tips and travel photos with the monthly essay about my travels. I think of each post as part personal essay, part craft lecture—like a mini travel writing class wrapped in my life story.

Are you a reader?

Good. I love you. Thank you for reading me.
