I help academics protect time for writing and resist overwork. Meaningfulness matters. You are more than your job. I also make things with textiles, read romances, sing alto in a choir. Subscribe to my newsletter: JoVanEvery.co.uk/newsletter

The @smartbitches.bsky.social podcast does holiday episodes in which they interview listeners about the best books they read in the past year. In the first of these episodes this year (a couple of weeks ago), someone named Great Expectations and said they planned to read more Dickens.
