Hello,
For over a year now, I do Instagram about once a month. By do, I mean I download the app, post a few photos to get people to sign up to this newsletter, check my DMs, and delete the app from my phone. Why don’t I go off completely?I want to get a new book published and publishers like it when you look like you’re alive and have “followers.” Also, authors and publishers DM me to send me cookbooks to feature here (which I think we both like).
I LOVE my barely-there relationship with IG. My brain just feels infinitely better and I’m so much more productive. But I also still love keeping tabs on the latest (food, fashion, design, and book) trends (and influencer scandals, too). So, I’ve turned back to my glossy magazine habits and some really great newsletters to get my fix.
