A short pause
This new year we’re taking a slow start so we will be pausing newsletter payments before we return in spring with something sweet.
We wanted to drop you all a quick note to say that we’ll be hitting pause on newsletters until spring while Chloe travels to see family in LA and Anna hits the bookshelves with her debut book Chinese And Any Other Asian. If you’re in London you can snag a copy and hear Anna speak about the book on February 6 at The Scarlet Letter in Bethnal Green (tickets range from £2-5).
A massive thank you to our paid subscribers who have made it possible for us to publish articles on our website. All of our articles are free access because of you and can be found on our website
We have paused payments for paid subscriptions and will send an email out before we resume payments in spring. If you aren’t already, we would love for you to join our paid subscriber list which will allow us to continue to commission writers.
What's next?
When we return we’ll be changing things up a little and instead of looking at multiple publishing seasons this year we’ll be focusing on Sugar for 2025. We really look forward to diving into this ingredient and will be in your inboxes with announcements and pitch guidelines for Sugar Season. For up to date info be sure to follow us on instagram
