Check out this essay about Margaret Cavendish! She's one of the historical characters in The People's Library (Feb 2026)
Out today! Super excited to share a new essay with you: “The Duchess Who Invented Science Fiction,” a silly and sincere ode to my beloved Margaret Cavendish, a 17th-century duchess who teaches us to 1. think speculatively and 2. wear ridiculous outfits.

I really like the Surrey International Writer's Festival. It should be happening right now. But they canceled their event because of the workers who are fighting for a fair deal from the hotel that usually hosts the convention.
It was the right thing to do, but the cost to SIWC was $$$$$. help?
