A newsletter for people seeking to transform life's interruptions into creative grist
Suleika Jaouad is an incredible writer. Thanks to this project, The Isolation Journals, I started writing every day and the prompts she sends out each week are always a highlight. I really can't recommend Suleika and The Isolation Journals enough, especially if you (or someone you love) is dealing with any sort of illness/disability.
Advice and wisdom from Heather Havrilesky, published since 2012 (formerly at The Awl and NY Magazine). Paid subscribers receive twice weekly posts on how to navigate our broken world with compassion, realism, and an open heart.
I loved Heather Havrilesky's book, Foreverland, a smart/witty/honest look at marriage and what it means to love someone monogamously. She's a brilliant writer and her newsletter, Ask Polly, shows off her jokes and her insights.
