Send My Love to Anyone | Issue 23
Hello friends,
Happy new year! We’re starting off 2023 with an exciting issue!
For Issue 23, David Mura shares the excerpt “The Absence of Racial Identity for White Characters” from his new book The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself: Myths and Our American Narratives, published by the University of Minnesota Press.
Marlon James calls Mura’s latest book “a reexamination of the American imagination itself and the myths we need to dismantle for a proper foundation to finally grow. It’s fearless, illuminating, and revolutionary.”
Kirby writes about The Return of the Owl.
I have a book coming out in September. My last solo book came out eight years ago, and I feel like I’m learning the book business all over again. So I’m inviting you to learn along with me in a new series called Relearning the Book Business.
First up is All About Pre-orders where I gain some new perspectives on book pre-orders from publishers, publicists, booksellers, authors, and readers.
And finally check out Issue 23’s Gatherings, a list of my recommended readings, viewings, calls, events, and more.
Tell me what you’ve been up to and introduce yourself and/or share your Substack or blog link.
Hope you’re having a great start to the new year!
Kathryn

Recommended SubstacksNew year, new Substacks. There’s a burst of newsletters coming out, and this year more than any likely because of the Twitter’s decline. I started Send My Love to Anyone in January 2021 as a part of a new year reset, and I’m happy to say I’ve stuck with it.
I recently did a workshop on writer newsletters for the Federation of BC Writers, and I plan to write a post reflecting on running a newsletter over the past two years with tips for those new to the newsletter game. Look for this post later in the spring.
I thought I would share some of my favourite Substacks.
Tajja Isen (author of Some of My Best Friends) has a new Substack called the Creative Practice on finding the time to write.
