I'm determined to keep @pelliclemag.com sustainable which for me means:

- Better rates for contributors
- Fair remuneration for our team
- The ability to plan bigger projects (like print!)

To do this we need to grow our subscribers, and you can read more about why this is important here:

Ok folks I’m back at work so let’s talk shop a while.

After a bit of a wobbly summer at @pelliclemag.com we’re back on track, with a new sponsor, @geterbrewed.bsky.social and we’ve immediately reinvested that support by recruiting @clairembullen.bsky.social as associate editor.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.

It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.

Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk

I've just lost another contract - marketing is the first thing to go when costs need to be cut.

If you are looking for a talented writer, wine and beer somm, or some social media planning and batch content help, or know somebody who is, PLEASE send them my way!

ISBF it's about people.

People coming to meet up each year.

The ISBF Family that comes together each year.

The Brewers that comes to talk.

And - ultimately - helping people is why we do this.

Here's how you did good.
