Really happy to cameo in @aldbera.bsky.social’s piece about @saloneurope.bsky.social, which captures how unique and special the weekend was. Yay for nerding out over tea, and long live the Scroll! 📜
Truly moved by this Substack by @aldbera.bsky.social describing her experience at our Annual Salon over the weekend.
This is everything we hoped for—creating a place where writers from across Europe can come together and get to know each other—to make writing a little less lonely💛
