Um, I’m sorry, but i subscribed to a Substack for the first time ever so I could read the work of the world’s kindest fellow (selection) juror and discovered not only a shoutout but that she’s an incredible writer?! Consider me hooked.

Hope your shoulder is feeling better and your cold has subsided. I loved your sketches. Over the years, I've been selected to be a juror in not one but TWO murder cases (two different juries!) In both cases, I learned so much about trials, my fellow humans, and my own capacity as an active listener. I think often about these two experiences and feel very grateful for both of these opportunities to do my civic duty. I love your essay collection idea (and your essays, in general) and am excited to hear about this new press. I think there is a bit gulf between what agents think we want to read and what we actually want to read. I, for one, will always read what you write.
