I was lucky enough to go to summer camp because I had ample amounts of outside financial support. Summer camp was my safe space, like it is for countless other kids who don’t fit the mold. open.substack.com/pub/leahplot...

Book launches will always be important, way beyond the commercial gains of them. Getting art out to the world is a community affair. A labor of love for more than one. Writing is not a vacuum. #keepwriting
