Writing Out Loud
“Sometimes I laugh, once or twice I’ve cried, but it’s always thought provoking. Virginia is a truly gifted writer, a trailblazer and all round badass. Already looking forward to the next book!"
This collection gathers one full year of weekly Substack essays, with pieces that move between everyday life and big questions about courage, belonging and feminism. It is a book to dip into and to keep.
Through My Lens
"I loved this book - it has pride of place on my bookshelf. I've been very intentional about not reading it all in one binge-read and savour it!"
The first annual collection of my weekly Substack posts. These are intimate, thoughtful pieces about motherhood, friendship, identity and the cultural currents that shape us. Every page invites you to look again, with tenderness and rigour.
