This newsletter is a free-range collection of stories and snippets about history, science, art, and culture.

It's based on the premise that things which are new or interesting to me are likely new and interesting to some other people, too.

Every second Friday (and sometimes on the Fridays in between for paying subscribers), I send newsletters in which I:

• turn interviews and research into stories – my current focus is on quirks and curiosities from the UK’s history

• occasionally share some of my other non-writing creative outputs – photography, art, and archive finds

Browse my most popular posts to get a feel for what it’s all about.

If this sounds like the kind of newsletter for you, subscribe below to get it delivered direct to your inbox.

And if it’s the kind of newsletter any of your friends, or family, or co-workers might also like, please tell them about it, too.

Thanks!

Amy
