I write about creativity, books, Internet culture and wellbeing. I write stories and content helping you navigate change and figuring out your own path. Be that career, life and everything in between.

Why did you start this newsletter?

Social media used to be an exciting, joyful online space. Unfortunately, it is no longer that (for me). Instagram hides my posts, Twitter gets very dramatic, and Linkedin seems to be a lot of people in suits wishing me a slightly sinister happy birthday. I missed writing on the Internet. I missed the comment section on blogs. I missed the connection that can come from your own little corner of the Internet.

Why “The Hyphen”?

A “hyphen”, to me, symbolises that messy bit in the middle. The “in-between” bits of life, the hyphens that knit together all the different sides of ourselves. The bits between being a parent or being a worker or being [insert thing]. So, that’s why I called this newsletter The Hyphen. Anything goes here, but I will mainly be talking about books, wellbeing, creativity, joy, side-hustles and living life on your own terms.

How it works:

Every now and again, you’ll receive a Hyphen email for free.

If you sign up as a paying member, you’ll gain access to regular new writing, the full archive, the Hyphen Book Clinic, Tuesday Threads, Sunday Scrolls (a round-up of things I’m consuming online), a regular Q&A instalment and book giveaways. You’ll also be supporting the creation of the newsletter and join a fantastic community :)

Here’s a 10% off code as a ‘congratulations’ for reading this far.
