I added a new section, The Palace of Cheering & Celebration, to my newsletter to celebrate good news I've been told about any piece of writing that's come out of one of my workshops or Unbox Your Words monthly prompts! If you've been on one of my workshops, send me your news, let us celebrate you 🥳
In my Newsletter I talk about the FUEL ebook, 2 new Zoom workshops, do more cheering in the Palace of Cheering & Celebration, and muse about the gift economy, The Commons & the “counter-intuitive” mystery of free workshop tickets in Permission Corner! taniahershman.substack.com/p/highly-irr...

I just started reading FUEL and am loving it - it’s such a brilliant idea to have an anthology of prize winning flash fiction (and navigable by a list of first lines!), and even better that profits go to fuel poverty charities - check it out! 👇✨
