What is Small Stories?
Small Stories is a series of letters from me to you about searching for magic & meaning. These are the secrets of my writing life, sent from my tiny loft-room study straight to your inbox.
I'm Laura, author of the book Little Stories of Your Life, and creator of Instagram account @circleofpines. My second book Chasing Fog (which was an Editor’s Choice in the Bookseller) will be published on 29th August 2024. You can preorder Chasing Fog here.
