I’m glad you’ve read this, Jo. I’m feeing like it’s maybe time to re-engage with the bigger issues, although I’m not sure how. There has certainly been a part of me that’s shrugged and accepted the prospect of apocalypse for some years now.

In any discussion of food and farming, unless your solution can be scaled to feed 8 billion people, you shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately, cottagecore fantasies that would feed only the richest consumers, leaving billions to starve, are all too common.

Today's update on our Kickstarter campaign is from superstar Welsh folklorist, Claire Fayers. She tells us all about her love for giants. One of the rewards in our campaign is a first chapter critique from Claire, which is an amazing opportunity for a budding fantasy writer.
