Hey Elle! What a weird coincidence, after being recommended your last post by several people independently I was just in the process of leaving you a massive comment over there. We seem to be of the same mind about some many things re: the direction of publishing in 2022 and beyond.

It’s inspiring what you’ve built (and are building) and I’ve been quietly taking notes from your approach for a long time.

Here’s to a great 2022! Exciting indeed.

I know, we've been following parallel paths in a lot of ways I feel! At some point I want to interview you about your experience, because I think we'll come out with very similar takeways!

And yes, so excited about the print option-I'm doing that with my newsletter too this year and I'm so excited about it! We'll have to exchange notes re: making it a separate purchase vs. making it part of the founding member tier. In any case, I bought your book! Can't wait to read it!

Brilliant Thomas, congrats. Looking forward to getting my hands on this and re-reading everything. May this be the dam breaking on a wave of STSC books spurting into the world in the coming months and years!

It certainly feels that way Gavin. Glad to have you as part of the STSC wave. Your newsletter is consistently excellent.

Hi, Thomas, congrats! I just recently started to read your writing. I want to purchase your book, but I am from Mexico and I was wondering about the shipping. Is it possible to send it here, and how much does it cost?

Hello Jose, glad to have you on board here! Lulu- the company who I’m selling the book through- do worldwide shipping but I’m unsure of the cost to Mexico specifically. If it’s prohibitively expensive send me an email and I’ll try and figure something out for you. Cheers.

Hi! The shipping cost is 30 usd, and it will take up to 17 days to receive it. More expensive than the book itself. What are the alternatives to get it? Thanks!

Cheers, Conor. I feel like I’ve finally got off the starting blocks now. I guess it’s true that they say when you think you are 90% of the way towards completing a book you have really just reached the halfway point.

I don’t know how to find that out exactly but I’m sure you’re on the podium if not the outright winner. Thank you so much for buying a copy.
