Back in 2020, those pandemic years, I began a newsletter for nature lovers called What are you looking at? (WAYLA?). I used something called Tiny Letter to publish approximately 90 issues, before the service closed down.

After something of a hiatus I’ve relaunched it on Substack and you can subscribe here.

Another way of subscribing to my work is by making a donation. To this end I have a sort of ‘tips jar’ in the form of a Ko-fi account where you can donate the equivalent of buying me a coffee or you can donate directly via paypal.

It still feels rather odd to ask for donations but these days many writers are supported by their readers effectively ‘subscribing’ to their work – like a magazine subscription – except to one writer.

I suspect this form of income will become increasingly important and normal for writers, especially if freelance work is harder to come by – which is already the case since the coronavirus crisis. So if you feel and are able to support my work in this way, a huge and heartfelt thank you.
