Hello lovely people,
I love transparency and wanted to let you know what you can expect over the next 8 months. I’m currently beginning work on my third novel, and in what is a wonderful development, I will also be writing a new non-fiction book. As writing these books will have a sizeable overlap and I am but one human, I will have to make some changes to the content I publish on here, how regularly and who that is available to.
I’m grateful of course for every single one of you, who have read my work, sent me messages, written comments and generally kept me going on this lovely platform. But, I will have to spend this time prioritising paid subscribers whose subscriptions allow me to continue to write on here, and without their support I wouldn’t have been able to keep going.
I will periodically do giveaways of subscriptions as I know times are hard, but from this point onwards until March 2025, the majority of content will be published for paid subscribers with the odd piece available to free subscribers. I will also from time to time unlock the paywall around older content for people to access for free. Paid subscribers can expect between 2-3 pieces per month, access to the full archive and when I have the availability, live chats.
I will also continue to run the Ask Me Anything posts, so do feel free to send me a direct message that you’d like me to address on here.
Although it will be very hard to lose an aspect of community engagement, and being able to converse with so many of you, I think it’s the only way I can sustainably continue to publish on Substack without losing my mind. Thank you again for all your support - it keeps me going!
Big love x
Poorna, can I just say I discovered you on here a few months ago and now I am EATING every single one of your books. The last time I was this hungry for words was for a Bronte sister. It is a pleasure to pay to read your delicious writing.
Colossal love,

Very excited to hear about the new books, a little sad about the subscription but totally understandable, you can only do so much and deserve your worth. I can’t afford a subscription at the moment but you will be the first subscription I sign up to when I can 💪🏻
