Welcome to Send My Love to Anyone!
A newsletter on all things writing where Kathryn Mockler writes about the writing process and other troubles and invites guest writers invites and artists to share their work.
Hi Friends,
Welcome to Send My Love to Anyone.
I’ve been getting some new followers and subscribers so I thought I would create a post to introduce myself and Send My Love to Anyone!
In 2023 Substack featured Send My Love to Anyone on the homepage!
They even gave me a little image to celebrate this moment.
I started this newsletter January 1, 2021 while I was in a serious writer’s block with a book on contract and having blown by two deadlines! I thought if I wrote about things related to writing and share the work of writers I admire, it might help me out of my slump.
It did, and that book Anecdotes, my debut story collection was published last year by Book*hug Press. You can find out more about it on my website.
I’ve been involved with three other online journals as either an editor (Joyland, Canada Editor 2013-2020) or publisher (Watch Your Head, 2019-present and The Rusty Toque, 2011-2017).
The difference with this project and my other publishing ventures is that I write posts too, which makes this project a hybrid of a personal newsletter and a paying literary site.
Last fall Kirby (author of Poetry is Queer and she) joined SMLTA as a regular columnist.
Past contributors include Saeed Teebi, Emily Austin, Jen Sookfong Lee, Mary Lou Zeitoun, Deborah Dundas, Kim, Fu, Lynne Tillman, Lisa Robertson, Rebecca Fisseha, Jessica Johnson, Chelene Knight, Gary Barwin, Farzana Doctor, Kirby, Carrianne Leung, June Pak, Khashayar Mohammadi and more. You can access these guest posts and interviews via the Send My Love to Anyone archive.
Below is a breakdown of what you can expect from Send My Love to Anyone. I hope you enjoy this newsletter!
