“This is pretty much what I look like.” 😂 Seriously, though, I love the new picture with its “Stranger Things” vibe, not to mention that text font lifted from the cover of every Stephen King novel from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Excellent collaboration with Mr. Ward. He’s a talented artist.
Exciting Shaina! More of your fiction? Oh yes I say! And the book club reviews are always brilliant. You've been a bit reticent about the progress on your 'baby'...I am so glad to hear that it is coming along still and I can look forward to seeing it in print!
Oh delightful, good for you narrowing your focus. I’m just at the beginning of my Substack and I’m considering doing the same. I hope it goes super well well for you and happy writing on your first draft! The logo is fabulous, and for some reason, it reminds me a bit of the lighting on the cover of young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder 💞
I didn't know John was an artist too. I love this refocus and I'm glad you're still doing the book club although I think I've missed many posts due to me own constraints.
Such a great reframe! The image and the added voice...exciting. Congrats on making the space to make it happen. Good luck with the novel and enjoy the unstructured days’ work forward. Lovely to hear some background about you and your work, Shaina. ☺️

"and I really do live in a boiler" 🤣🤣
Great stuff, Shaina. And awesome, awesome illustration by John!
I'm here for all the stuff, I take and enjoy whatever lands in my inbox, but happy to hear if a slight shift is helping you focus.
Congrats on the work on the novel! Looking forward to hearing more about that.

I love your new logo!
Haha. You look happy/amazed/scared/eager in that pic. Gorgeous background, too.
As for self-publishing, check out Atticus.Book publishing made easy, and you can write/edit in it before you finalize, too.
Love this. And I’ve got you on the self publishing when you’re ready. I do this for a living and am more than happy to discuss! 🤜🤛

I love your take on things so I'm here to stay 💯
