Stay tuned!!! I’m hoping to share soon! We’re going out on submission later this year 😬

It really is such a shame! I had no idea

So far I’ve found it to be an incredibly supportive atmosphere but will be keeping my eye out for an alternative newsletter platform 😫 for now I’m hoping my little history corner of substack will remain a pleasant space in the meantime 😫😫😫

Oh no I didn’t know that! 😫😫

The book club is free & open to anyone & everyone with an interest in premodern history

It'll be hosted on my Substack, so be sure to subscribe (sign up as a FREE subscriber...unless you WANT to pay 😉)
