The Margin has returned! My OG subscribers will know that before I moved over to Substack earlier this year, I had a paid membership platform called the Margin on my website. Substack has made it so much easier to offer this extra content and I’m definitely sticking with it, but I was really happy with the name so I thought I’d bring it back. To me, the Margin represents the thoughts, ideas, scribbles and sketches that exist on the fringes of my published work. It’s also the name given to field edges where wildflowers and hedgerows grow in a tangled, disorganised way. I’ve decided to reclaim this name with a new series of weekly posts, each of which will capture the creative process of my week, things I’ve done and ideas I’ve pursued, but not necessarily in a polished or perfect way. There will also be more personal and honest stuff on here about life as a creative professional, a modern human, mother and woman. I hope you enjoy it!
